Based upon reliable research and evidence based practices, this series provides a detailed look at the fastest-growing jobs using up-to-date data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The lessons guide students through a typical day in each profession, helping them identify occupations that might be a good fit for their interests and abilities. Visuals and bullet lists of skills needed, character traits, and job benefits provide explicit information for each job. Topics include expected job growth over the next 10 years, average salary, required training, and job responsibilities. Following each reading passage, comprehension questions challenge students to stay focused, sharpen reading comprehension skills, and learn more about each career. Answer keys are provided at the end of each book.
Featuring 20 easy-to-read job lessons and activities in each workbook, students will explore various careers, from fitness trainers and firefighters to air traffic controllers and schoolteachers. Each volume covers jobs available to one level of education before moving on to the next – readers will learn about high school diploma jobs, skilled labor jobs, Associate’s degree jobs, and Bachelor’s degree jobs.
