Mi Próximo Paso

Mi Próximo Paso is a web-based interactive tool for Spanish speaking job seekers, students, and other career explorers to learn more about their career options. Mi Próximo Paso includes all the features of the English-language site My Next Move.

Mi Próximo Paso uses the current production O*NET 28.0 database with Spanish translations of occupation titles, skills, task statements, and more.

Mi Próximo Paso Web Services

The Spanish-language keyword search used in Mi Próximo Paso is part of our web services API. Occupation titles are returned, in Spanish, matching a Spanish word or phrase. A wide range of features from Mi Próximo Paso are also available, including detailed career reports and Interest Profiler questions and scoring. The Interest Profiler IFrame widget can also be added to your site with a simple block of HTML code.

Mi Próximo Paso Keyword Search

A technical report describes language-specific adaptations and enhancements applied to our English-language Weighted O*NET Keyword Search for use in Mi Próximo Paso. The resulting search implementation can be used through the tools above. Developers may also leverage the steps outlined in the paper to build or customize a similar occupation search.

Spanish Translation of the O*NET-SOC Taxonomy

The occupation titles and descriptions of the O*NET-SOC 2019 taxonomy were translated into Spanish, for use in the Mi Próximo Paso website. The translated taxonomy is available for download below.

Spanish Translation of Lay Titles

This download includes translations of over 50,000 lay titles, which are used in Mi Próximo Paso's keyword search.

Spanish Version Database - O*NET 4.0

The Spanish version of the O*NET 4.0 database was developed by Aguirre International for the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) under an O*NET technical support contract. The Spanish O*NET database maintains the same format and file structure as the English 4.0 version. This was done to facilitate incorporation of O*NET information into Spanish language occupational information systems and applications. DOL has no current plans to develop a Spanish language version of the O*NET OnLine application.

The translation process included extensive review by a variety of professional experts:

Review of the accuracy and utility of the translation was accomplished through focus group sessions held in California, Texas, Florida, New York and Puerto Rico. Group participants had diverse Spanish language backgrounds and professional workforce development expertise.

Bilingual, bicultural industrial-organizational psychologists also reviewed and evaluated the translation to ensure its validity by matching the word choice with the already validated English version of the O*NET database.

Spanish Language Questionnaires

Spanish language translations of the O*NET Questionnaires used in the O*NET Data Collection Program are available on the Questionnaires page.

Why are we hosting this event?

The Arts Center of Greenwood serves to enhance the quality of life in the Lakelands area with arts education programs and initiatives for all ages. The purpose of the STEAM initiative at the center is to provide diverse learning experiences that develop skills in critical thinking, imagination, and innovation. The center sponsors STEAM-focused programs annually such as LEGO robotics teams, summer camps, community outreach programs, and the iMAGINE Lakelands STEAM Festival in Uptown Greenwood.

What does the competition theme "mobility" mean?

Mobility is the abilty to move or be moved freely and easily. This year's competition theme will encourage participants to use their imagination to innovate ideas related to "mobility" with their LEGO creation. Each construction, whether it be a sustainable vehicle of the future, a versatile all-terrain mover, a new road system to accommodate bicycles and joggers, or a fantastical transportation device, must embody the theme.

What are some examples of the competition theme?

Mobility can include any mode of transportation (scooter, bike, car, truck, bus, train, boat, submarine, plane, etc). It can also include the terrain in which we move on or through (road, bridge, bike lane, park, trail, escalator, elevator, tunnel, sidewalk, etc). Mobility can involve recreation as well (skateboard, rollercoaster, carnival ride, rock climbing wall, gym equipment, hot air balloon, parasailing, skiing, etc). It can include occupational equipment as well (tractor, forklift, cart, machinary, etc). Mobility can also be a theme of the past and future (horseback, spaceships, alien air crafts, jetpacks/suits, etc).

What should you keep in mind when building your LEGO creation?

Be creative and don't forget about accessibility. Some people use wheelchairs, canes, walkers, or robotic legs to get from point A to B. How will your design accommodate different abilities? Do some research. Take time to learn about your own community. How can your LEGO creation represent an innovative concept that might make your community better able to meet the mobility needs of everyone!
