Preparing for Career Success

Several million students throughout the United States take a career class, such as Career Management Success, or a career-related Family and Consumer Science course each year. This course is increasingly important. Additionally, many states and schools are adding an Orientation to Life and Career course to their curricula. Whether students are opting for a postsecondary school or jumping right into the world of work, they all have similar career development needs. They need to be prepared for the workplace and for finding a career that makes use of their interests, aptitudes, and skills. Preparing for Career Success combines sound career development theory with engaging learning activities that help students meet their career goals. It provides students with the most current career information and thoroughly covers a variety of social issues affecting today’s workers and the workplace, including tech prep, ethics in the workplace, sexual harassment, and the complex set of problem-solving skills needed to successfully handle the challenges facing two-wage-earner families.Ryan, Jerry is the author of 'Preparing for Career Success', published 2005 under ISBN 9781593572075 and ISBN 1593572077.
