Career Planning Guide
The Career Resource Network
Career management knowledge and skills should be part of the “tool kit” of every person. This goal is incorporated in several statements of education goals, including the Standards of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and the Regulations of the RI Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education, which require that school districts provide for “each individual student’s social/emotional, academic, and career needs.” Having such knowledge and skills will enable citizens to be happier and more productive and to better contribute to their prosperity and that of the economy and society. The Rhode Island Career Resource Network (CRN) provides training to counselors, teachers, and others who assist students or clients with career management. It also produces or supports computer programs, publications, and classroom activities materials related to career management. The Rhode Island Career Anchor is one of the materials produced by the Career Resource Network. It is designed for high school students and adults. Current information on CRN training and products is available on the CRN web site, and may also be obtained by contacting the CRN.
