Informational Report Report Topics Choose one of the following report topics or combine them into a report that is valuable and interesting to you as well as other students like you. You should consider your audience to be other students. These are the guiding topics. 1. Best Companies You are intrigued by Fortune's annual list of the 100 best companies to work for. You want to work for one of these. You read the good news that many of them are hiring, so you begin searching for a company that has possibilities for you. Review Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" and select the companies that seem like the best fit for you; for example, your report could be on "The Top Four Accounting Firms in Southern California" or "The Top Three IT Companies to Work for in Silicon Valley." Use the information provided by Fortune and other sources (e.g., the company's website) to create a purpose-driven report. 2) Investigating a Career Path You are interested in exploring your career options to make sure you have the right skill set for your chosen field and that the future in that field looks promising. One of the best places to search is the latest Occupational Outlook Handbook compiled by the U.S. bureau of Labor Statistics. Search the Handbook for your desired occupation(s) using the Search box or find a career using the A-Z Index. Use the information provided in the handbook as well as other sources to create a purpose-driven report.
