Careers

So you want a career that includes Visual Communication!

A career is not defined as a job or occupation. It is the sum total of all your roles, knowledge, choices, passions and experiences. Your career path will be unique. You may take what you have learned in this course and apply it to a scrapbooking hobby, or making home movies, or slide shows, etc. That would be part of your career, not your occupation. If you want to use those skills in a future occupation you may need to search for more information so you can make informed decisions about what direction your path will take. A great source about occupation info in Canada is the National Occupational Classification also known as NOC (pronounced knock).

The NOC organizes over 30,000 job titles into 520 occupational group descriptions. It is used daily by thousands of people to compile, analyze and communicate information about occupations, and to understand the jobs found throughout Canada's labour market. It is used to collect and organize occupational statistics and to provide labour market information.

Here are all the links to all areas that may apply the content you have learned in this course. Have a look at areas that may be of interest to you.
