2. Workshop Description
October 31, 2017
Helping Youth Make Career Decisions 
3:15 pm - 4:30 pm          Colorado
Workshop Summary:     Helping youth connect to successful career paths requires access to, and an understanding of, labor market information and trends.  Furthermore, many of today's best career options don't require a four-year degree—yet it can be hard to plot a course to a good-paying job via other credentials. The U.S. Department of Labor's GetMyFuture.org website offers simple resources and tips, including videos, to encourage and inspire youth and to empower them to make career decisions that are right for them. In this workshop, participants will walk through a variety of scenarios related to identifying and selecting the appropriate training options for a wide range of youth—including those without a high-school degree, those with disabilities, criminal records, and other barriers to success.  CWDP Competencies:    Career Development Process; Labor Market Information (LMI); Program Management
Learning Objectives:
Participants will learn something they didn’t know about training options available to youth;
Participants will learn how to use GetMyFuture.org with youth, and find curriculum to aid their work;
Participants will in increase their ability to be effective by learning about free tools, resources
