ruth, I agree with this and also recommend having the students do mock interviews with professionals in the field if possible, or at least someone other than their teacher to help them get comfortable speaking to different kinds of people. Elizabeth Kemler

Overcoming Obstacles at Work

Regina, I have found the same thing which is why I created both National and Local (for many areas) Student Service directories. They have tons of free and low cost resources from social services, transportation, health care to food pantries. Please let me know if you'd be interested and I can send you the PDF's at no cost.

Keeping Students Motivated

Regina, I love the 'roadmap' idea..it's great if you can have them create something they could put on their fridge. Having a visual like that to see daily can really be inspiring. Elizabeth Kemler
