Students will also have ample time to research pathways to their career.

2. Internship: 3-4 days a week the students would be travel to their internship location. The student would report to their internship supervisor who will be the guide and mentor for the experiential learning portion of the course. The student would observe the career in action and work hand-on to apply both the skills learned in the classroom and the skills learned on the job site throughout the internship experience.
