leap
what do you want to be?
The project is a two-part interactive career day for higher schoolers, aimed at exposing youth to future possibilities. The first part is an hour-long workshop in the school to help students self-discover their personality types and possible career paths, and to devise an action plan to achieve their goals. The second part is a field trip that allows students to physically experience a career possibility. Our first prototype focused on the arts and students were brought to Parsons to experience college life in person and to learn about scholarship opportunities. Future iterations of this program would allow a broader scope of career fields, such as sports, technology, and media.
