Aimed at high school and college students who are planning their future careers, this reference describes apprenticeship opportunities in 55 fields. The information is based upon interviews
with people currently working in those jobs. Volume one opens with several informative essays on such topics as volunteer work, interviewing skills, and workplace etiquette. The main part of
the material is organized alphabetically by career field. These entries are followed by a section on apprenticeships by eligibility (such as those for disabled workers) and listings of schools,
job centers, and state apprenticeship councils. Oakes is a professional writer who has published more than 20 books. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
