| Don’t let your students transition without seeing these programs. |

| My students were glued to the screen. This is the way to introduce social skills as a course of study! |
| - Susan Simon, Principal |
| You hit a home run with First Job Survival Skills. Highly relevant to school-to-work training programs and, as always, very entertaining. |
| - Jim Graph, MA |
| With our budget we have been able to purchase First Job Survival Skills 1, 2, & 3. These videos provide social skills that are truly needed for this population. Please keep producing these great videos. James Stanfield understands kids and the world of work! |

| The students responded well to First Job Survival Skills 2: Job Permanence and Moving Up...and the humor helped them digest the material more readily. |

| Finally, someone has addressed this issue. The First Job Survival Skills 3 (Workplace Delusions) is a unique and highly innovative approach to preparing students for the shock of an environment where what they need, feel or desire does not come first and often doesn’t matter. |
| - Jim Graff, PhD |
| Great introduction to workplace reality. The humor really makes a difference. |
- Tracy Parker, Vocational Programs Supervisor

| I highly recommend First Job Survival Skills 1: Surviving the First 90 Days to anyone preparing students for the REAL world of work. Too often new employees don’t realize how important their first weeks on the job are; that if they don’t show promise during the probationary period the boss is going to assume they never will! |
| - T. Duryea, CEO |
| You know why I believe so many new employees have trouble on their first job? I think it’s because they assume I’m going to relate to them like a parent or caretaker…. like they’re someone deserving of special treatment and infinite tolerance! That’s an unfortunate workplace delusion and exactly what First Job Survival Skills 3:Workplace Delusions of Grandeur addresses. |

About the Transitions Curriculum:
| The value and impact of this curriculum is immeasurable. What could be more important than supplying students with the skills and knowledge to make the transition from being a student to being a responsible working citizen! |

About the LifeSmart Curriculum:
| On PeopleSmart: This video series was great! The classes hated to see the end. The videos prompted great discussion and interesting role playing. |
| - Dena Launderville, NE |
| On JobSmart: I think the material is excellent for developing appropriate work attitude. Attitude (work ethic) is something which is difficult to teach. |
| - Larry Wilson, KS |
| On JobSmart: JobSmart is one of the most comprehensive training tools we have encountered. The video messages are clear and practical while remaining light-hearted. This format allows constant interaction and keeps student attention while reinforcing the key points. |
| - Richard Rosenbaum, CA |
| On MoneySmart: I never thought you could make finances fun to learn until I used this program with my students! |
| - Marjorie Baum, WS |
| On MoneySmart: The best common sense strategies I've come across for teaching students the importance of saving and cost comparisons. And it's hilarious! |
| - Mark Gilmore, AZ |
| On SafetySmart: The only safety program I've ever used that my students actually asked for a second showing! It's terrific! |
| - Shelly Carnes, SC |
| On DateSmart: My students found the DateSmart 1 & 2 series to be both fun and entertaining. I loved the way they sparked discussion and got everybody talking. |
| - LeAnn Cameron, TX |
| On DateSmart: I like the humorous approach because kids can relate to it so well. It takes a serious look at serious situations and presents them in a way that teenagers today can understand. It allows them to examine their own values and make decisions about situations in which they may find themselves! |
| - Phyllis Muhleman, CA |

About the Working Series:
| My students really responded to getting the lowdown on what employers really look for in an employee in the Working Series. The step-by-step problem solving was well done. And then following it up with JobSmart was really the one-two knockout as far as seeing the behaviors and attitudes that can cause workplace problems. The solutions were well modeled and realistic. Keep up the good work! |
