The Holland Code • The Holland Code is a
method of classifying interests into six broad categories.
• Dr. John Holland developed a theory that people’s interests and work environments can be loosely classified into six broad areas.
• They can be combined in many different ways.
• You can use your unique combination of interests to find a career that matches.

past cultures, countries, tribes, and early prehistoric man in order to reconstruct and understand their origin and development. They excavate, analyze, classify and interpret artifacts and weapons to identify trends.
