The

2004-2005 Career Cruiser

is a career planning magazine that is designed to help middle school

students learn about careers and to begin to think about their future. The

Career Cruiser

is brought to

you by the Florida Department of Education, Workforce Education. The

Career Cruiser

includes an

interest checklist, occupational descriptions with average earnings and educational requirements, plus

many student activities. In addition, students can learn about budgeting, learning styles, decision making,

and planning strategies.

 

The

2004-2005 Career Cruiser

will be distributed directly to each middle school. Each school will

receive enough

Career Cruisers

for its eighth grade students. A limited number will be available if

schools need additional copies.

 

A

Teacher’s Guide

will be sent separately to the contact designated for each school. This document is

also available online at www.myfloridaeducation.com/workforce.
