Final Career Project              

 

Almost everything we have done in Exploratory class this semester has been designed to help you decide on a career that will be interesting and fulfilling for you.  Your final project will be a presentation designed to be used at a career fair to let other students learn about your career of choice.  

It could be in the form of

• a display board,
• a pamphlet or brochure,
• a power point presentation,
• a multi-media presentation,
• a t-shirt,

or any other appropriate form for getting your message out.  It may include any information you feel is important, but must include at least the following:
