www.careerclusters.org: This website has a wealth of useful information on career clusters and is an excellent reference for developing school-to-work curricula. There isn't, however, anything to simply pick up and use. You would have to develop your own modules from the information on this site. Still, it is definitely a useful resource.

www.myfuture.com/toolbox/workquizzes.html has a free Work Interest Quiz which is easy and fast, and produced accurate results when I tried it. The only downside with it is that the only way to score the quiz is to complete it on-line and then tell the system to process it, so unless groups of students have access to the web, it is impractical as a classroom activity. Even so, it may be useful as a homework assignment or library project.
