National and state membership associations of licensed professionals advocate for their professions. As part of their outreach, many publish career information and related materials. For more information, contact the association(s) of interest.

Developed to help consumers "shop smart" for services provided by practitioners in over 40 licensed professions, these brochures describe the requirements for licensure and the services these professionals provide.

The State Boards for the Professions, organized under the Education Department's Office of the Professions, advise the Board of Regents on all matters of professional licensure and practice, with a focus on public protection. Representatives of the State professional boards may be available to speak about preparing for licensure and the practice of the professions. For more information, contact the offices of the State professional boards.
