Can You See Your Future? The Southern Alleghenies Workforce Investment Board has developed an interactive career CD entitled, "Can You See Your Future?", for distribution through youth staff in the CareerLink System.  Developers worked with members of the Youth Council to share information and collect suggestions for the creation of a useful career development tool to assist youth.  The CD utilizes animated spider characters to guide users in navigating the CD and provides helpful internet sites.  Topics covered are:  Career Exploration, Educational Opportunities, Job Search, Employer Expectations, and Employee Expectations.
