Students use SparkPath Challenge Cards to identify problems or challenges they’re interested in solving. They reflect on themes and connections to their strengths and interests, then research related careers using O*Net and set goals for further career exploration.
Every Fleishman Career Center assignment/activity can be used in the classroom, as homework, or during a program/event. These assignments and activities can be fully customized to fit your needs.
