This article discusses the rationale for and process of creating and developing an occupational information brochure targeted for ethnic minority students. Minorities need to expand their awareness and knowledge of career options, and few specifically targeted resources now exist. Field testing during the development process showed that a printed brochure answering questions on how to pursue a specific occupation that contains brief biographies of ethnic minority role models, can both inform and inspire. Such a resource can help equalize minority access to career opportunities.
