Hey, What Does It Take to Do YOUR Job?

What does it take to do your job?  That's a question in the minds of teens that will be signing up for FCCLA Career Explorations sessions during the 2010 National Leadership Conference in Chicago.  I must say I am very impressed by the high quality career exploration sessions offered this year!  They are designed to increase career awareness and encourage students to investigate different career paths.

For full information on the Career Exploration opportunities (including a description of each session) please visit the National FCCLA website.  Members can sign up there for sessions - first come, first served, so don't procrastinate!  Please be sure these sessions do not conflict with other responsibilities throughout the National Leadership Conference.
