Cool Careers
8-15 Years
The Careers series introduces young readers to many career choices. There are a total of 72 different careers for children to read upon. Each book in the series provides students with an overview of what it is like to work within an organization like a hospital or farm, and then profiles several careers within the institution. The Innovation in Entertainment series explores the role that innovation has played in changing the way that people are entertained. This series takes a look at the people and the creative ideas that have changed Careers. These books have exposed students to emerging careers in science, vocational and technical education, and new “green” jobs. Cool Arts Careers We are pleased to announce the addition of Cool Arts Careers following the same successful format. This series focuses on careers in film, TV, dance, fashion, and music. Students will gain a new perspective on these jobs, and gain a better understanding of the path needed to follow their dreams of a career in the arts. Career & Technical Education The focus of the series is on careers that are projected to grow over the next several years and that are attainable without a four-year college degree. Each title explorers what it takes to enter the field, compensation ranges, and a “day in the life” look at the career.
