JOB TRENDS
Women working: hard hats off to the ladies
A shortage of skilled workers has led Boston construction and engineering employers to look to a nontraditional source for new talent: women. Local colleges and universities, like Boston's Wentworth Institute of Technology (WIT), have long recognized the ability of women to succeed in these fields, but now their graduates are getting the chance to prove it.
Nurses go online
Today, a growing array of distance learning programs in nursing have made it possible for busy professionals to earn advanced degrees and certificates from the comfort of their homes.
Bilingual healthcare workers in demand
The demand for healthcare workers with the ability to speak more than one language has expanded beyond the hospital to acute care facilities and clinics.
Resumes for career changers
Looking to switch careers after many years in one field? Career experts at local colleges say the most important way to land the job you want is to craft your resume into a target-marketing tool.
CAREER PATHS

STUDENTS IN ACTION
Reduce, reuse, recycle...renew
MIT students recently showed off a battery-operated Porsche. Engineers at UMass-Lowell are in negotiations with a company interested in developing solar-powered golf carts. The push for new forms of energy is on, and the need for qualified people who can help make it happen in Massachusetts is growing.
A day in the life of a (working) law student
As a Connecticut state trooper, Andrew Matthews knows the law. Matthews graduated in June with a legal degree from the Massachusetts School of Law in Andover.
Summer school for teachers
A trip to the beach, a week on the Vineyard, sightseeing in Boston, staying home to relax. This may sound like a summer vacation to-do list, but for teachers the list has an added twist - they'll be learning something.
