Career & Financial Management (2003 Curriculum) The recently created course tentatively entitled "Career & Financial Management" is a one-half unit requirement that will replace the current Introduction to Occupations requirement in September 2004. The course will be required as part of every career and technical education (CTE) program including five-unit CTE programs used as a substitution for the additional two units of foreign language needed for a Regents diploma with advanced designation. The Career and Financial Management content can be met either as a discrete course or integrated into other courses in a CTE sequence. During the 2003-2004 school year, the New York State Education Department is seeking feedback from districts that choose to field test the course during the first or second semester.
