What:
WebProfessionals.org (aka the World Organization of
Webmasters) has a 17 year history of supporting practicing professionals and
those that teach.
To better support teachers and industry professionals, we
are working to keep web-related occupational classifications up to date. At the request of the U.S. Department of
Labor, we will continue to support the O*NET (Occupational Information Network)
initiative as an important and primary source of occupational information.
O*NET.
Who:
O*NET is taking steps to update two occupational
classifications that are important to the Web profession:
Why is this important?
Teachers and schools that teach Web professional topics
need a guide to focus their curriculum strategies . Students need an integrated
career pathway program that is based on web-based science and technologies and
that maps to employer demand
What we need from you:
For those that teach, please take a few minutes (5) to
respond to the following survey at: http://goo.gl/iPeJWl
For industry professionals:
We have been asked to identify members with expertise in
these occupations to provide feedback on tasks, knowledge areas, work context
factors, and activities. We would like to forward your name and contact
information to the O*NET researchers at RTI International (Research Triangle
Institute) and they, in turn, will invite a random sample to provide input via
questionnaires to keep information about these classifications accurate and
up-to-date. A Certificate of Appreciation from the U.S. Department of Labor and
$40 in cash will be included with the questionnaires as a token of thanks. If
you will help with this effort, please send us an email at info@webprofessionals.org
Sincerely,
Bill Cullifer
Executive Director
