Print

Capture the students' interest by engaging them in the completion of a dynamic and comprehensive career unit that prepares them for college admittance and/or for entrance into the workplace — the "Real World." Teachers of all disciplines receive expertly and thoughtfully developed teaching tools (teacher instructions, handouts, transparencies, samples, etc.) that are necessary to make this unit meaningful and relevant for their students. An exceptionally useful tool for the teacher includes the implementation step-by-step instructions ("When to do What").  Advanced planning for a career unit makes things go much more smoothly, enables the teacher to be less stressed during the process, and prepares them for dealing with the unexpected. 

This career manual enables the teacher of any curriculum area to give professional instruction to their students as they:

  • Prepare comprehensive career studies on two or three occupations of their interest and choice
  • Prepare a marketable and viable career portfolio that includes a: resume, reference page, cover letter, personal brochure, business card, follow-up letter, and pre-employment mathematics test — students update these items every year once they leave the classroom setting
  • Develop successful interviewing techniques by engaging in mock interviews with business representatives from a variety of areas of expertise
  • Explore and establish on-going networking opportunities with business professionals
