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."
