THE FUTURES VIDEO AND TRAINING
"This class and the supporting materials really brought home for
me the importance of this issue and gave very real, practical,
easy-to-use options and solutions to the hurdles one encounters in
educating and inspiring young women to pursue meaningful careers. We've
incorporated the training in our School-to-Career staff
development classes and feel it is an essential piece of the entire
effort."
