Overview of Basic Package - Year One

After 20 years of experience with the Career Choices curriculum in thousands of schools, we can identify what is required to be successful in efforts to keep students in school, graduating, and moving forward in their post-secondary pursuits. In other words, we know what works and what doesn’t.
 
While we believe, in the majority of cases, that schools will want to contract for additional services, certified Technical Assistance Contractors* for the Career Choices curriculum will to provide, at a minimum, the following services for each of the schools or districts referred to them by Academic Innovations.
