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 Health & P.E. book for lower elementary students combines career education and health and physical education to increase work related skills among very young children. The activities included in this program are – Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, How Do You Feel?, Keeping Safe, Following the Leader, Getting Around, Watch Out!, Oh, What These Hands Can Do!, Can You Camouflage?, Loco-motor License, Run, Hop, Skip and Jump To Where I Live, My Favorite Things, Career Charades, We Won’t Blow Up, Dental Health and True or False.

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.
