Choices & Careers; Free to Choose: Ideas for Using. A Career Development Project for Tribal Girls.
Wisconsin Univ., Madison. Univ. Extension.
Through a special project funded by Extension Service-USDA, University of Wisconsin-Extension, tribal women developed curriculum and tested a model for programming with the purpose of enhancing the status of young tribal women. The curriculum was designed so that tribal girls could see the many career options they have, that they realize that preparation for many careers starts in high school, that each girl has special talents and characteristics, that there are disadvantages in being a teenage mother, and that there are some skills which enhance one's choices and some barriers which reduce one's choices. The project design and curriculum could be used by tribal groups in an effort to assist young tribal women to develop their potential and abilities. However, there are some general factors to consider when planning and implementing the program. This paper gives various ideas for implementing the program in other tribal communities. Topics covered are planning and implementing the program; needs for the program (i.e., space, program length and timing, resource people); staffing (i.e., part-time, full-time, selection of staff, training); programming with girls and adults; curriculum for girls; and career conferences.
