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.

They include – Take a Chance, Apply Within, Build a Burger, Cover Letter, Fill Out the Funnies, Get a Job, Get the Scoop, Greetings, Interview, Peer Ending, Talk About It!, Thank You, Dream Jobs, Speaking Skills and Write It!

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.
