Review

Chad Foster believes that while schools are doing a good job of
educating students, they are not preparing them for the real world. This
book, which provides a road map for getting young people started on a
career, emphasizes the importance of people skills, early career
preparation, integrity, communication skills, and community service, and
the value of pursuing a dream.

Blending real-world experiences with classroom theory, Foster offers
practical advice and inspiration. His accessible style and positive
approach make it easy to understand his success throughout North America
as a speaker on teen motivation.

Recommended for teenagers, and highly recommended for educators and
adults who value the concept of internship for secondary-school
students.
