| A note from the CREATORS
OF THIS GUIDE |
Whether we are educators working in the
K-12 system or career facilitators working in the community,
Career Education is important to each of us as career practitioners
working with young people. This connection to career education
gives us the opportunity to value all learners, their interests
and abilities while connecting with students on an equal playing
field. Through our teaching and facilitation, we can support
young people's skill and attitude development, knowledge acquisition
and planning strategies that will equip them to move forward
in this ever-changing world.

The intent of the Career Paths
2001 Facilitator's Guide is to:
- stimulate
increased use of Career Paths in the K-12 system and community
youth agencies/organizations.
- outline
suggested activities that can act as catalysts for further
usage in career planning with youth.
