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."
