Occupational Wage data has been expanded to give you the option of viewing wage information for different states. CIS will be available via the internet only. New add-on features for next year include: Dependable Strengths-The widely-accepted and tested Dependable Strengths, a tool used in identifying work-related skills and strengths will be an optional add-on to CIS.

The on-line version of the program is engaging, easy to use, and users can store data and return to it at a later session for further exploration.
