The Careerometer can be used to explore and compare key information about occupations to support the process of identifying potential careers. The Careerometer widget provides access to a selection of headline data relating to pay, weekly hours of work and future employment prospects. The data is organised by occupation: simply type in the title of the job you are interested in and the widget provides a series of options from which you can select the most relevant to you.
Find Your Career can be used by schools and careers professionals as well as the public, in order to see the real employment opportunities in the area.
Find Your Career is much more detailed than the labour market information for the North East region as a whole. You can also look at information about careers and job opportunities in North Tyneside and Newcastle.
Most importantly Find Your Career will show you which occupations and employment sectors are growing, and which are declining in this area. You can also see what you’re likely to earn and compare different occupations and employment sectors.
This could help you or someone you know to make a better decision about what to do in the future.
