This session focuses on moving career exploration beyond awareness and into meaningful, real-world connection. Through creative, immersive strategies like field experiences, industry tours, and hands-on learning, students can truly see themselves in future career pathways. Grounded in experiential learning, these approaches ignite curiosity, build confidence, and open doors to opportunities students may not have known existed. Participants will leave with practical ideas to strengthen partnerships between education and industry and create experiences that genuinely impact students.
