Easy to use format for all CTE teachers to integrate into the classroom. Flows into any CTE course easily! The Curriculum is a free, member benefit as part of SkillsUSA professional membership dues (digital download) . Career Essential Foundations Curriculum CFM is a framework not a curriculum. It was directed to a CFM course and hard to design each module into a “welding” lesson. Teachers plates are full and won’t do or not a good job at it. They have textbooks that are course specific that might have some finance management in it. SkillsUSA foundations is a complete curriculum that you can hand to a welder, culinary or any of your teachers and they can easily integrate it into their curriculum.
