 Equity Programs
Career Choices not only illustrates the need for all students to take responsibility for planning for their own future, but it also demonstrates how young women, in particular, can enhance their potential to be good parents and partners by seriously preparing for paid employment outside the home.
Teen Parenting Programs
Students overwhelmed by the chores and responsibilities of parenthood are less likely to drop out of school when they receive the kind of support and encouragement that is infused throughout the Career Choices text.
Family Life Courses
With components on problem-solving, decision-making, balancing lifestyles, budgeting, and planning for the future, this is an ideal Family Life course textbook.
At-risk Students
The text effectively demonstrates future benefits of completing high school and possibly post-secondary education. Career Choices also helps at-risk students understand that, in spite of individual challenges, they have the ability, resources, and responsibility to determine their own life patterns.
Job Training Partnership Acts (JTPA) Summer Youth Employment Programs
Career Choices encourages young people who may already be disengaged from their lives as students to stay in school by demonstrating the relevance of education to future success. It clearly meets the federal requirements for "Academic Enrichment" and "Workplace Readiness."
