Workshop Materials

There are seven workshop outlines for suggested group activities in the CiM Advisor Manual that will introduce students to the major concepts and components of the program. While much of the content can be self-administered by the students, it may be helpful to offer guidance and activities in a group setting. The workshops are flexible and can be adapted to your style, available time frame, and student needs.

PowerPoint Presentations

We are creating PowerPoint presentations to assist you in providing workshops for your students. It is an ongoing process, but the first workshop is available below. Each one has speaking notes and is customizable for school content.

For many of the workshops, we have also created handouts for you to provide to students, available in downloadable PDF format. These handouts are meant to be used in conjunction with workshop activities, but may in some cases be used as general career guidance handouts.
