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 High School Language Arts Book contains information regarding the integration of career education into the language arts so the regular curriculum is not obstructed. The language arts activities include – Commercial Time, Using Your Senses, Decisions! Decisions!, I Can, Crossword Competency, Preview to Interview, Interview Time, Thank You Notes, “Extra, Extra – Read All About It”, Symbol Quilt, Literary Problem Solvers, Advertise It!, References and Reflections, The Grammar Police and Conflict- Resolution.

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.
