Many community colleges and universities are enhancing their counseling services for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math majors due to federal grant money that is available.  The colleges are following the wave of money that went to secondary schools previously. We think that the increased secondary funding has created more students interested in these fields coming into our colleges now. Counselors will find the following websites helpful and student friendly.  "Green careers" are incorporated into some of these sites but are not the focus of this list.

1. http://careerinfonet.org/ - This is a national website about occupations. Specific Stem Occupations can be found under Fastest Growing or just by “browsing occupations”; it has a video, simple job description and great salary information BUT if you scroll all the way down, you will find related occupations and additional databases for associations and other places to find out about the career. http://www.careeronestop.org/ExploreCareers/ExploreCareers.aspx -  Go to Employment Trends by industry and be sure to scroll through the long page of information.
