HEAR WHAT YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE SAYING ABOUT 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."
