EUREKA
EUREKA, CCIS, (California Career Information System), is available
for Cerritos College students to use
in the Career Services and online
(need a username and password from the Career Tech). The EUREKA
Career
Information System consists of occupational and educational
information, which is updated every six months.
EUREKA consists of several components: OCCUPATIONS contains
descriptions of over 700 occupations,
including information about
salary, growth projections (California and nation-wide figures are
available for
both these categories), related careers, career ladders
and educational requirements for entry and advancement;
PROGRAMS
provides information about school addresses, telephone numbers, whether
or not a program is impacted,
admission requirements, costs, and other
general information. SCHOOLS has a California only and national
database,
FINANCIAL AID has over 7,000 scholarships, grants and
loans. There are other EUREKA components available to students.
EUREKA is user friendly and the resources may be applied as part of a
career counseling session, a class assignment for
students in Career
Exploration classes or simply as a tool for students who are seeking up
to date Labor Market Information.
In addition, faculty members have used
EUREKA in program planning for their departments.
