Resource Management
and Career Skills
   

 

This class can begin the exploration of the adult world of paid employment and money management. This is a journey you begin when you accept your first paid job and begin to control your own money. It is a process - no one goes from dependent child to independent adult in one month or one year! This course can help you begin the process and make better choices along the way.
