2000 NCSC News

O*NET 3.0 Files...The Employment and Training Administration released an update to the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) database in July. Visit the O*NET Consortium's home page for more information. The consortium also released O*NET Online, an Internet-based application for accessing the database. The NCSC has developed MS Access and Visual FoxPro databases based on the text files available for downloading from the O*NET Consortium web site. Visit our O*NET page for details. (10/4/00)

Something new...Please note the new web address for the NCSC as found on our home page. The new address is http://www.xwalkcenter.org (8/16/00)

Beat goes on…On June 30, 2000, the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (NOICC) ceased operations. The crosswalk center beat does go on... we've regressed and are now the National Crosswalk Service Center, a name we'd used for a number of years. Some of our resources will continue to contain the reference to NOICC. And, we'll continue to maintain resources which are of interest to our general audience. We're now funded by the Employment and Training Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor and will devote more of our resources to supporting some of their projects. Look for us at a new web address (www.xwalkcenter.org) soon. (7/6/00)

The NCDC is on the move! During the week of March 27, the Iowa SOICC, including the NOICC Crosswalk and Data Center, settled into a new home. We're part of Iowa's Department of Education. Check our contact us page for details. (3/20/00)
