Resource Centre Index (CRCI).<br />
• To find what you want, check out the codes <strong>and</strong> icons on the CRCI chart or<br />
rolodex.<br />
• Each code starts with a letter.<br />
• Information about jobs is coded in 23 job families. Each job family is coded<br />
with a letter between A <strong>and</strong> W; there is also an icon for each job family.<br />
• Other information - such as career choices, free time, health - is in 11<br />
sections, each starting with a Z.<br />
