The Ideal Launching Curriculum for Tech Prep/School-to-Work
"Instructors, counselors and administrators were unanimous in their opinions. Career Choices is the most comprehensive and best organized curriculum designed to assist students in goal orientation and career selection that they have ever reviewed. Unlike many books, systems, or computer organized efforts, Career Choices approaches the topic from a personalized conceptual base and builds a cadre of skills through interactive activities that enables students to make a well based decision."

"Students need the skills employers most want; this gives them the opportunity to learn what is important for careers."

"Near the end of the year when scheduling began for the following year, a few students realized they were not "people oriented" (human services) and chose other areas of study." (Referring to her Introduction to Human Services class, the first in a sequence of classes for the Human Services Technology career cluster).

"Before we began the course, I couldn't get these learners to commit to any career plans. [By the end] they all enthusiastically chose three careers for research and one for job shadowing."
