Is a dynamic resource to educate high school students about the viable career options available in public works! This outreach program from APWA will help you create a powerful outreach program in your community.

APWA's primary goals for our secondary school outreach activities include:

• Educating students about the nature of public works
• Presenting viable career options in public works to young people no matter what their academic achievement
• Providing APWA members with the tools and resources for working with high school students
  
  The toolkit consists of:
• Guide to Secondary School Outreach - This 75-page resource provides information about outreach in the school setting, with the community at-large, and in the APWA member workplace. Included is a 50-minute lesson plan that introduces students to public works and career opportunities that might fit with students' individual skills and interests. The companion CD-ROM contains all of the templates, forms, and other materials referenced in the Guide. This can only be purchased as a component of the training package.
