Program Opportunities
Drop-Out Prevention Program
Career Choices is offered in an alternative "school within a school" setting for
at-risk 9th and 10th graders. The text and Possibilities become the semester-long Language Arts class.
Summer Work Experience
Career Choices is the Academic Enrichment component that offers basic skill remediation, together with pre-employment work maturity skills. The program is offered as a 2-3 week "front-end" orientation or as a 2-hour per day breakout.
Academic Component for Community Based Organization
Career Choices supports the CBO's program goal and meets WIA requirements
by presenting an easy-to-implement and comprehensively structured curriculum. Youth attend small group after school classes to develop a career plan and build academic skills.
College Bound Program
Career Choices is used to help young people discover their personalized career objective and gain the motivation to start and complete a post-secondary educational experience.
Troubled Youth
Career Choices is selected because it offers non-traditional learning. Instead of lectures, students work independently or in small groups on activities that are
real-not theoretical, student-centered, not didactic.
Summer School
Career Choices works synergistically with Possibilities and/or Lifestyle Math
to help students improve reading, writing and math skills. Because the texts are about them, students are far more motivated to study and learn.
One Stop or Opportunity Youth Centers
Career Choices offers case managers an ideal curriculum to prepare out-of-school youth for reentry. Its motivational exercises and activities create a turning point as young people see the value and benefits of an education.
