Volume 1 provides descriptions of the U.S. Department of Education's 16 Career Clusters, and a Career Cluster icon in each job article enables students to read about jobs in the clusters that interest them. Each article also contains a new Skills Spotlight sidebar, which identifies key skills and competencies for each job as outlined in the U.S. Department of Labor's SCANS report. Volume 1 also features a new section about self-assessment testing, which includes an A-to-Z overview of the most popular tests, as well as a sample test based on the O*NET Work Interest Profiler.
