Overview
This Career Interview activity is an extension of 1.5 Planting the Seed of STEM Jobs. Students, Our Young Professionals, are asked to interview a professional who they admire. The goal is to gain insight (inside info) into the planning, education journey and future prospects of a career of interest. And to make a career more alive and real, not just in a book or video.
