Building Futures infuses career education into a teacher's academic curriculum with easy-to-use lesson plans and informative resources for each grade level.

Manuals are divided into six core subject areas: Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Health & Physical Education, and Art & Music. Subjects are approached through the concept of multiple intelligences, and the manual provides activities to recognize and develop student competency for each.

The Middle School Mathematics book creates a link between career education and math so that students are able to realize their full potential while discovering how math is used daily. The activities that assist in this process are – Division Busters, Take Your Best Shot, Bigger or Better, Fraction Action, Limits, Pay the Bill, Profits, Seeing Is Believing, Get the Point, The Code, Got Math?, Wish List, The Search Is On, Mall Mites, Ad Space and Take a Ride.

In addition to creative lesson plans, each spiral-bound manual contains a chart of 125 occupations, organized into 25 career clusters with descriptions of tasks, skills required, and salary ranges. There is also a calendar with career-related events, and numerous website addresses for teachers and students to explore.
