New Career Connection Course Features
Our curriculum team is including an exciting new element in our courses called Career Connections. These Career Connection features are short interviews with successful professionals in the field.
The new Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Introduction to Entrepreneurship I courses launching this spring will be the first courses to include this new feature.
Career Connections give students a sense of how the course’s skills are used in the workplace.
Professionals from a variety of careers in the industry help to show the various career options available in this field.
For example, the CAD course features interviews with an architect, an interior designer, a landscape architect, and two engineers.
The Introduction to Entrepreneurship I course features interviews with outstanding young people who became entrepreneurs as teens (or even younger!) in a variety of fields.
Featured entrepreneurs include:
- 15-year-old Lani Lazzari of Simple Sugars (www.simplesugarsscrub.com)
- 17-year-old Web entrepreneur Donny Ouyang of Kinkarso Tech Ltd. (www.kinkarso.com)
- 19-year-old Jessica Cervantes of Popsy Cakes (www.popsycakes.com)
- 22-year-old men’s fashion designer Baruch Shemtov (www.baruchshemtov.com)
- 25-year-old Andrew Mohebbi, who created a successful paintball review Web site as a teen and then sold it
