REPLACEMENT CONTENTS.HTM for CD labeled
"Non-Traditional Career Awareness Resource CD"
or "Nontrad", version 2012

for PC with CD in drive F

NOTE:
The 2012 Non-Traditonal Career Resource CDs which show up on your desktop as a CD icon labeled "Nontrad" were inadvertently burned missing the file "CONTENTS.HTM".
This file should allow PC users with the CD drive labled F to navigate the CD - insert the CD, save this file (as "html only", not "webapge, complete") to your desktop as "NONTRAD.HTM", open the copy on your desktop with your browser, and with any luck, you are good to go.

If "NONTRAD.HTM" fails to link to the material on the CD, try copying and pasting to "Nontrad-Copy.htm" or try opening with Notepad and using the "save as" option to save a copy to "NONTRAD2.HTM" or "NONTRAD3.HTA"

If these also fail to link to the CD contents, unfortunately you will need to navigate to the indicated folders on the CD and open the files individually.

Alternately, we have provided an "online version" of the CD at https://archive.nmnwse.org/careers/CareersCD/, although it's contents are not identical.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
