We have a program which is teacher-directed and has had tremendous results
here in Utah.   If you are interested in something other than on-line, we
could offer some assistance.

Dear Paula

The Daniel Memorial Independent Living Program Curriculum teaches life
skills in 16 different categories two of which are job seeking skills and
money management. They might not go as indepth as you want but it covers
minimal survival skills and knowledge. Casey Foundation also has their
version. Something more comprehensive is a program put out by the College
of Financial Planners.
They have a non-profit institute that gives away a text books and a
teachers guide. You can find them on the WEB. The best job search, job
readiness and job maintenance material comes out of the Department of Labor
Workforce
Development programs-go to their websitefor links or Pepnet-Good luck

Try www.bridges.com - they offer a number of solutions for career readiness
and exploration for all grade levels.  I don't think they have a money
management piece, however.

Good Luck -
