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 Social Studies book introduces several activities that can be integrated into the curriculum allowing students to have a better understanding of the subject and careers. Such activities include -- Economic Times, Workplace Constitution, What Do the Polls Say?, Technological Wizard, Ten Years Later, The Ben Franklin Planner, Project Tourism, Geo-Shipping, To Be A Leader, My History, Government Jobs and It’s the Economy. The creative activities involve all students in skits, reenactments, drawings and games.

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.
