Book Design Project Details

Build Your Future: The Complete Guide to a Skilled Trades Career is a book specifically designed for teens. The book is approachable, and the design uses color, iconography, and clear labeling throughout to make it easy to read and understand.

The book breaks down the top ten myths about skilled trades and delves into whether college is the best option for everyone. It provides valuable information on many aspects of the skilled trades, including average salaries, prospects, learning pathways, opportunities for entrepreneurship, and overall job satisfaction. This valuable information enables students to make informed decisions about their career paths.

The Home Builders Association of Michigan is publishing the book, which will be provided to over 500,000 middle and high school students in the State of Michigan. The book has already become an effective teaching tool at a local Northern Michigan high school that has included it in its curriculum.

Overall, the book communicates the essential information students need to understand and choose skilled trades careers. The design makes the book fun and approachable, while the information provided is practical and realistic. In conclusion, the Build Your Future book is an excellent resource for students who want to explore alternative career paths, and its impact on student’s lives is undeniable.
