PROJECT or Industry Area GOALS:
To be determined, however, at first thought:
- interactive component to attract and engage students within the career development realm
- multimedia educational project to educate students online about their career options and opportunities
(learning towards an interactive multi-media experience that walks students through the theoretical “Three-Door-Model” of career development and exploration – to be featured online in some capacity.)
