MEMORANDUM

 

TO:

 

Middle School Principals

 

FROM:

Nancy

Cordill

 

DATE:

 

September 11, 2003

 

SUBJECT:

 

Career Cruiser

 

 

The

Career Cruiser

is a career planning magazine designed to introduce eighth grade students to

occupational and educational information. The

Career Cruiser

includes an interest checklist,

occupational descriptions with average earnings and educational requirements plus many student

activities. Students can learn about budgeting, learning styles, decision-making, and planning

strategies.

 

The

2003-2004 Career Cruiser

will be distributed directly to each middle school. Each school

should receive enough

Career Cruisers

for their eighth grade students. We hope this resource

will be useful as your students begin their career exploration. The

Teacher’s Guide

, a new

supplement to the

Career Cruiser,

is included in this mailing. If you have any questions

regarding the

Career Cruiser

, please call Patrick Wright at 800-342-9271.
