Sommario/riassunto

Ask most pre-teens and teenagers about life after high school, and you are likely to get blank looks or bored shrugs. Spark excitement and help young people feel motivated about staying in school by making the college or career connection come alive with this indispensable resource that takes the guesswork out of career awareness counselling. This book gives busy teachers, school counsellors, and parents succinct lessons that generate deep discussion and inquiry about the real world of post-secondary education and work.
