Occupation outlook mobile app

Occupation Outlook is a mobile app for Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. It is a great tool for exploring study and career options, with extensive information on labour supply and demand in over 100 occupations in New Zealand. The app outlines how to enter each role, how many are studying in related fields, how many are employed, and what the average incomes are. It also outlines what are the prospects of getting a job in that occupation once you have completed the qualifications required. You can download and install the app on your smartphone or tablet via these links:

Download from Apple Itunes Download from Google Play

The app allows you to search and sort all the occupations by their incomes, fees, and job prospects dial settings, and it has a skills-to-occupations matching tool you can use to see what roles match your desired (or current) skill levels in broad subject areas.
