Eugene, OR - The staff of VStreet.com has conducted a complete review of all of its full-length courses and e-zines to determine how each feature meets the goals of both the Ansell-Casey Life Skills Assessment (ACSLA) Domains and Job Corps Competencies. New, easy-to-read charts of the results are available on VStreet.com.

VStreet.com is a dynamic Web-based tool that uses visual learning to teach essential life and social skills, develop personal organization, and encourage self-expression. Each feature is meant to be both entertaining and educational, and most contain interactive components which engage viewers and reinforce learning.

Full-length curricula include Options to Anger, Efficacy: Your Secret Power for Decision Making, Money Medical: Healthy Money Management, Apartment Hunt, Car Dreams, Private Lives: HIV/STI Education, Career Spins, and Take This Job and Keep It.

Nineteen Getting Ready e-zines cover topics like healthy living, money management, nutrition, teen parenting, legal rights, transportation, consumer awareness, job hunting, and more.

Most courses and ezines were developed with an eye toward meeting goals set forth by the Job Corps and ACSLA. The new charts will assist schools, agencies and mentors in creating a learning plan for students, and will help them use VStreet.com to meet their training goals. The charts are posted as printable PDFs.

VStreet.com is available by annual subscription, which cost $24 each; group rates are available. Visit www.vstreet.com for a tour and more information.
