About This Product

From teaching the “soft skills,” such as time management and mitigating stress, that can boost academic success, to warning about alcohol and drugs, peer pressure, and other dangers inherent to becoming a young adult, this collection covers life lessons that aren’t always taught in class, but that can be just as important in preparing for life after graduation.

This collection is available as a single-subject collection or as part of the Films On Demand Master Career & Technical Education Video Package.
