(CAN) While this resource profiles several careers, it uses a strong career development and life/work approach in the descriptions. For each career from bank teller to janitor, welder and nurse, the person profiled discusses daily activities plus required skills. Each of the careers fits into broad subject classifications such as the math/sciences, arts, social studies, technical/vocational and physical education. The book also does an excellent job of guiding students in creating a portfolio that illustrates their skills, personalities and interests. The format and illustrations will appeal to students.

An online interactive version is available at http://www.careerccc.org/destination2020/.
Suggested Use: Career Awareness, Exploration and Planning; Self-Awareness
