Education Connection Announces Three New Ways to Research Online Schools and College Degrees

Online, August 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Boca Raton, Florida - Education Connection launched three new databases on their website this month to help potential students gather information about online degrees and online colleges, as well as explore careers. The Career Finder, Online Schools and Online Degrees directories were developed as a way to assist individuals who have not mapped out their educational path as yet. The directories do this by allowing the user to browse careers and degrees organized by interests and degree level.
The directories include many useful features including salary information for careers taken from the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Online Schools and Online Degrees directories both include descriptions to assist potential students in making informed decisions on their education.
Education Connection plans on making several enhancements to these databases and their website in the coming months. These include linking the Career Finder to a career assessment test developed using the O*Net (Occupational Information Network) career database, which is maintained by the Department of Labor.
