What is Eureka?

The California Information System

Eureka is a library of occupational and educational information which is up-to date and localized to the area where you live. The information is stored on the computer. You can tell Eureka what information you want to find. Most Eureka information is available in English and Spanish.

Accessing this type of information through a private agency could cost you up to $800. But the Career Job Placement Center provides this service FREE to students enrolled at East Los Angeles College.

• Are you undecided about which occupations to explore? If so you can tell Eureka some things about yourself and get a list of job titles that might be suited to you.
• Do you already have some occupations in mind? You can get information about occupations in California which includes job duties, pay, outlook, ways to prepare, licensing requirements and tips on finding a job.
• Do you have a field of study in mind? You can find information about programs, courses, requirements and degrees. You can even get a list of schools which have programs in your chosen field of study and learn about related careers.
• Are you considering certain schools or colleges? You will be happy to know that Eureka has information about cost, admissions requirements, programs of study, housing and services provided by the institution.
• Are you looking for a job right now? If you want help to write a résumé or prepare for a job interview, Eureka's job search information can help.
• Are you planning to go into business for yourself? You can learn about self-employment, small business ownership, and entrepreneurship.

All East Los Angeles College students are encouraged to take advantage of this free service.
