They may analyse risk.Many engineers use computers to produce and analyze designs, to simulate and test how a machine, structure, or system operates, to generate specifications for parts, to monitor the quality of products, and to control the efficiency of processes.Most engineers specialize in one or more engineering disciplines. Numerous specialties are recognized by professional societies, and each of the major branches of engineering has numerous subdivisions. Civil engineering, for example, includes structural and transportation engineering, and materials engineering includes ceramic, metallurgical, and polymer engineering. Engineers also may specialize in one industry, such as motor vehicles, or in one type of technology, such as turbines or semiconductor materials.Engineers have obligations to the public, their clients, employers and the profession. Many engineering societies have established codes of practice and codes of ethics to guide members and inform the public at large. Each engineering discipline and professional society maintains a code of ethics, which the members pledge to uphold. Depending on their specializations, engineers may also be governed by specific statute, whistleblowing, product liability laws, and often the principles of business ethics.Some graduates of engineering programs in North America may be recognized by the Iron Ring or Engineer's Ring, a ring made of iron or stainless steel that is worn on the little finger of the dominant hand. This tradition began in 1925 in Canada with The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer, where the ring serves as a symbol and reminder of the engineer's obligations for the engineering profession. In 1972, the practice was adopted by several colleges in the United States including members of the Order of the Engineer.Most engineering programs involve a concentration of study in an engineering specialty, along with courses in both mathematics and the physical and life sciences. Many programs also include courses in general engineering. A design course, sometimes accompanied by a computer or laboratory class or both, is part of the curriculum of most programs. Often, general courses not directly related to engineering, such as those in the social sciences or humanities, also are required.Graduate training is essential for engineering faculty positions and some research and development programs, but is not required for the majority of entry-level engineering jobs. Many experienced engineers obtain graduate degrees in engineering or business administration to learn new technology and broaden their education. Numerous high-level executives in government and industry began their careers as engineers.Accreditation is the process by which engineering program are evaluated by an external body to determine if applicable standards are met. The Washington Accord serves as an international accreditation agreement for academic engineering degrees, recognizing the substantial equivalency in the standards set by many major national engineering bodies. In the United States, post-secondary degree programs in engineering are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. In much of Europe and the Commonwealth professional accreditation is provided by Engineering Institutions, such as the Institution of Civil Engineers or the Institution of Mechanical Engineers from the United Kingdom.An engineer's degree is an advanced postgraduate academic degree in engineering that is conferred in Europe, some countries of Latin America, and a few institutions in the United States.In Europe, the engineer degree is ranked at the same academic level as a master's degree, and is often known literally as an "engineer diploma" (abbreviated Dipl.-Ing or DI). In some countries of Latin America and the United States, the engineer's degree can be studied after the completion of a master's degree and is usually considered higher than the master's degree but below the doctorate. In other countries of Latin America, there is no proper engineer's degree, but the title of Ingeniero (engineer) is used for bachelor's graduates in the context of an undergraduate degree.3.9.PsychologistPsychologist is a professional or academic title used by individuals who are either:- Clinical professionals who work with patients in a variety of therapeutic contexts (contrast with psychiatrists, who typically provide medical interventions and drug therapies, as opposed to analysis and counseling).- Social scientists conducting psychological research or teaching psychology in a college or university;- Academic professionals who apply psychological research, theories and techniques to "real-world" problems, questions and issues in business, industry, or government.There are many different types of psychologists, as is reflected by the 56 different divisions of the American Psychological Association (APA). Psychologists are generally described as being either "applied" or "research-oriented". The common terms used to describe this central division in psychology are "scientists" or "scholars" (those who conduct research) and "practitioners" or "professionals" (those who apply psychological knowledge). The training models endorsed by the APA require that applied psychologists be trained as both researchers and practitioners, and that they possess advanced degrees.Most typically, people encounter psychologists and think of the discipline as involving the work of clinical psychologists or counseling psychologists. While counseling and psychotherapy are common activities for psychologists, these applied fields are just one branch in the larger domain of psychology. Research and teaching comprise a major role among psychologists.3.10. ChefA chef is a person who cooks professionally for other people. Although over time the term has come to describe any person who cooks for a living, traditionally it refers to a highly skilled professional who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation.Below are various titles given to those working in a professional kitchen and each can be considered a title for a type of chef. Many of the titles are based on the brigade de cuisine (or brigade system) documented by Auguste Escoffier, while others have a more general meaning depending on the individual kitchen. Not all restaurants will use these titles as each establishment may have its own set guidelines to organization. Specialized and hierarchal chef titles are usually found only in fine-dining, upscale restaurants; kitchen-staff members at casual restaurants such as diners are more often called "cook" or "short-order cook".Culinary education is available from a wide number of institutions offering diploma, associate, and bachelor degree programs in culinary arts. Depending on the level of education, this can take one to four years. An internship is often part of the curriculum. Regardless of the education received, most professional kitchens follow the apprenticeship system, and most new cooks will start at a lower-level chef de partie position and work their way up.European training. The training period for a chef is generally four years, consisting of first-year commis, second-year commis, and so on. The rate of pay is usually in accordance with the training status. Commis chefs are usually placed in sections of the kitchen (e.g., the starter (appetizer) or entrée sections) under the guidance of a chef de partie and are given relatively basic tasks. Ideally, over time, a commis will spend a certain period in each section of the kitchen to learn the basics. Unaided, a commis may work on the vegetable station of a kitchen.The usual formal training period for a chef is two years in catering college. They often spend the summer in work placements. In some cases this is modified to 'day-release' courses; a chef will work full-time in a kitchen as an apprentice and then would attend catering college on days off. These courses can last between one to three years. Once the chef has completed the fourth year in training, they usually graduate to demi-chef de partie or chef de partie.The standard uniform for a chef includes a hat, necktie, double-breasted jacket, apron, houndstooth (check) trousers (to disguise stains) and shoes with steel or plastic toe-caps, or clogs. A chef's hat was originally designed as a tall rippled hat called a Dodin Bouffant. The Dodin Bouffant had 101 ripples that represent the 101 ways that the chef could prepare eggs. The modern chef's hat is tall to allow for the circulation of air above the head and also provides an outlet for heat. The hat helps to prevent sweat from dripping down the face. Skullcaps are an alternative hat worn by chefs.Neckties were originally worn to allow for the mopping of sweat from the face, but as this is now against health regulations, they are largely decorative. The chef's neck tie was originally worn on the inside of the jacket to stop sweat running from face and neck down the body. The jacket is usually white to show off the chef's cleanliness and repel heat, and is double-breasted to prevent serious injuries from burns and scalds. The double breast also serves to conceal stains on the jacket as one side can be rebuttoned over the other.An apron is worn to just below knee-length, also to assist in the prevention of burns because of spillage. If hot liquid is spilled onto it, the apron can be quickly removed to minimize burns and scalds. Shoes and clogs are hard-wearing and with a steel-top cap to prevent injury from falling objects or knives. According to some hygiene regulations, jewelry is not allowed apart from wedding bands and religious jewelry. If wound dressings are required they should be blue—a colour not usual for foodstuffs—so that they are noticeable if they fall into food. Bandages on the hands are usually covered with rubber gloves.3. Careers Service. Social work in the workplaceThe final form of service delivery in industrial social work is special services.This is a miscellaneous group of services provided to a union or corporation usually via a contract for a limited period of time. Examples include consultation on personnel matters such as affirmative action procedures, stress reduction courses (some designed for upper management), preretirement groups, and assistance with community service projects. Although Jeanne West's agency. Resettlement Opportunity Services, Inc., is not typical of industrial social work, it would fall into this service delivery category.Employee assistance programs are staffed by a variety of professional and uncredentialed persons as well as by social workers. Psychologists, nurses, persons trained in personnel work, alcoholism counselors, union stewards, and counselors without formal credentials may all be found in employee assistance offices. In large corporate or union programs, the working environment may be enriched by or, alternatively, made tense by the presence of a remarkably diverse staff.There is currently a debate within the social work profession as to whether the appropriate entry level for industrial social work is the MSW or the BSW. At the present time, the majority of social workers employed by corporations hold master's degrees in social work. Since many master's programs now offer a specialization in industrial social work, built upon a generalist base, some of the more recent MSW graduates will have had this educational preparation. Increasingly, however, baccalaureate social work programs are providing field placements in work settings for students interested in this field of practice. Barbara Shank, in an article in EAP Digest, a well-respected periodical in the held, identified the following routes to career preparation for industrial social work.A concentration in occupational social work at an accredited graduate school of social work.Coursework and field placement in occupational social work at an accredited baccalaureate program in social work.A combined social work/business administration major.A social work major and a business administration minor.All persons entering industrial social work will be expected to engage in continuing education programs and seminars on a career-long basis.Some social workers argue that social work cannot exist in a business environment without compromising its professional ethics and values. These social workers tend to view business and industry as essentially exploitative. Others believe that coexistence is possible as long as the social worker is very clear about the innate differences in objectives and values between business and social work. Social workers who favor coexistence tend to believe that the profession has too long ignored workers and the ramifications of employment on clients' lives.The fundamental concern about industrial social work is whether the social worker will ultimately serve the employee or the employer. Historically, social work has been committed to social change and has promoted the well-being of people. When dealing with violations of affirmative action, unsafe working conditions, corporate plans to decrease health insurance benefits, and plant relocation or closure, the industrial social worker needs to be especially clear about professional values. "In industrial social work, no less than in other fields of practice that appear to constrain options, practitioners must hold fast to their dual commitment to being providers of social services and agents of social change."10One arena of special concern to both social workers and employees is confidentiality. For employees, breach of confidentiality could mean the loss of a job or loss of opportunity for advancement. This concern has led some unions to develop their own counseling programs at the insistence of employees who were reluctant to use the corporation's employee assistance program. While instances of ethical violation of confidentiality are said to be rare, nonetheless social workers need to respond to this concern. In particular, social workers should be alert to signs of management misunderstanding or potential mishandling ofconfidential materials. In contracting with business firms, social workers should be very clear about the boundaries ofconfidentiality.You can get help to gain new skills, find a job or stay in work from a range of organisations, including Jobcentres, careers services and voluntary organisations.Jobcentres.

This review pointed out the many factors that high school students might face as they attempt to construct a career plan and then act upon that plan. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that students have used in identifying career choices so that the support teams of those students may better aid in the decision making process.Career choice is a complicated process. The concept of ‘career’ is changing. It is anticipated thatmost graduates are likely to have 3 or 4 major career changes in their working life. Your task at thisstage is to determine what range of job opportunities are appropriate for the next few years,recognising not only that your values, skills and interests may change, but also the types of workavailable may alter in an unpredictable way.Your careers adviser can enable you to explore which factors are important to you.The process choice is affected by experience and purpose. One’s experience is limited by the ability to perceive only what the individual is prepared to perceive. Our purpose also limits our ability to perceive.Career planning is part of what you do when you're thinking about a new career, or you'd like to progress in the career you are in. You might be wanting to make a complete change, or just improve where you are at the moment. Planning needs time, as there are several things to consider. When you are planning, you need to think about:what you can do already,what you'd like to do next,what else you need to learn.IV. BibliographyBasavage, R. (1996).
