    Careers Course Description: 

    Career Choices and Changes: It provides a step-by-step workbook/journal format to help the reader discover for themselves the careers that will match their passions, lifestyle aspirations, skills, and aptitudes. It promotes learning through questioning rather than through the didactic copy of traditional books, empowering the reader to consider and contemplate their own unique qualities and desires. It introduces a career and lifestyle decision-making process that can be used repeatedly, thereby empowering the reader to productively navigate through a lifetime of workplace and personal change. Combined with the optional My10yearPlan.com, the learner comes away with a comprehensive planned portfolio to help chart their course for the life-long learning that change necessitates.

    Entrepreneurship: Introduction to Business Course Description. Year One Course of the Business Pathway:

    Entrepreneurship recognizes the importance of a business opportunity. From the initial idea to operating and maintaining a business, this course explores every aspect of business ownership. Entrepreneurship is necessary not only for students who will become entrepreneurs, but also for individuals working in the increasingly competitive corporate world. In the United States, small businesses make up close to 90% of all businesses. Entrepreneurship integrates the functional areas of business accounting, finance, marketing, and management – and the legal and economic environments in which any new venture operates.

    Business Principles, Marketing, and Finance Course Description. Year Two Course of the Business Pathway:

    In Principles of Business, Marketing, and Finance, students gain knowledge and skills in economies and private enterprise systems, the impact of global business, the marketing of goods and services, advertising, and product pricing. Students analyze the sales process and financial management principles. Students will also study personal finance and understand the importance of financial literacy. This course allows students to reinforce, apply, and transfer academic knowledge and skills to a variety of interesting and relevant activities, problems, and settings in business, marketing, and finance.
