The Nevada Career Explorer (NCE) is a free website made possible by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The Career Explorer is a place to find not just a job, but a career you’ll love.  Explore over 900 careers, countless educational and certification opportunities, or learn more about yourself and the careers made for you by taking a self-assessment.  The Career Explorer is designed to help you better understand yourself, what you want out of work, and what kinds of jobs you’ll love.  From there it layers in critical local and statewide data, including Nevada’s in-demand industries, sectors, careers, and pathways, to help inform an actual plan to get where you want to go. 

For use with this tool, we are providing an entire year of programming opportunities for both adult and youth patrons to tie into the Nevada Career Explorer. For more information on programming for the Career Explorer, visit the Programming page.

What is the Nevada Career Explorer?

It’s never too late to learn more about what motivates you and the careers that match your lifestyle.

That's the idea behind the Nevada Career Explorer powered by Headed2, now available to all Nevadans with a library card. The Nevada Career Explorer is a free website made possible by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Behind the Career Explorer’s bright and engaging interface are some of the most extensive career databases available today, including a range of self-assessments from O*Net, over 900 occupations, real-time job listings from direct employers, certification and graduate education profiles and more.

The Nevada Career Explorer is available to all Nevada library cardholders. While library members can perform a traditional job search, our system goes much further.  Users of the site are encouraged to create an account and try one of the self assessments in the “Discover Possibilities” section, such as the Interest Explorer, which helps you better understand what your interests are and how they connect to the world of work.

Other great features of the Nevada Career Explorer are its career “cluster profiles” which show how in-demand a given set of occupations are, and how many opportunities are available and the average salary. As users explore more through the system, it is able to intelligently suggest new career and educational opportunities in the personalized “Career Hub”.
