InterSECT Library

We designed the job simulations to be self-guided. Each simulation contains background and directions for you to complete tasks related to the career of interest. You can complete one task of the job simulation in as little as 1 hour, or complete the series of tasks for a deeper dive into a job area. The InterSECT Library has a complete list of all current InterSECT Job Sims listed in alphabetical order.

Don’t see a simulation you’d like to explore? We welcome you to develop your own job simulations and share them with the community!
