Oregon Employment Department Releases 2026 Careers Magazine
Oregon’s 2026 Careers magazine is now available for free in English and Spanish, offering students, job seekers and career changers guidance on training, interviews, job searches and in-demand occupations across the state.
SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon Employment Department has released its 2026 Careers magazine, a free resource designed to help students, job seekers and people considering a career change explore their options and plan for the future.
The magazine is available in both English and Spanish and includes practical information on career planning, education and training, job searching, interviews and labor-market data. Educators, school counselors, occupational counselors and educational institutions can also order free print copies and download a student activity guide.
The annual publication is produced by the department’s Workforce and Economic Research Division. This year’s edition includes 40 articles, with topics such as pre-apprenticeship programs, job shadowing, help paying for college, advice from recruiters and steps for a successful interview.
Bob Uhlenkott, director of the Workforce and Economic Research Division, said the goal is to help Oregonians connect their interests and skills with real career pathways.
“Our goal is to highlight real career pathways where Oregonians can connect their interests and skills to occupations that are in demand across the state,” Uhlenkott said.
The magazine is divided into five sections: career planning, education, job search, career guide and resources. One of the main features is the Career Guide section, which uses the Oregon Career Information System to provide information on 240 occupations. That includes wage ranges, apprenticeship availability, education and licensing requirements, annual employment and average yearly job openings in Oregon.

“This information is for Oregonians of all ages, whether you’re figuring out what you want to be when you grow up, considering a career change, or looking for your next position,” Uhlenkott said.
The department said its workforce research division collects and shares economic and workforce information to help Oregonians make informed decisions about education, training and employment.
