Meet my partner, Chaz.
My partner, Chaz, will guide each student through all the steps and activities. In addition, there are detailed instructions on what materials students will need and how to move through each part of the program. The students will gather and record valuable information about themselves and occupations that will help them develop a career plan for when they graduate from their high school.

My high school students with special needs liked this program. It was easy to use. They worked on parts of it by themselves and then we talked about what they discovered as a whole class. It gave me good information for their transition plans on my students IEPs.
A teacher told me about Checking Out Career Paths with Chaz when my son was struggling in high school. He was unhappy with his classes and seemed lost. I worked with him using this program to help him search out several occupations that are good matches for him. He seems like he has a direction now and seems happier.
