• Each student will complete a career exercise that includes a vision board and a mind map to help you identify a “dream job or jobs” that you may be interested in pursuing at some point in your career. You will analyze your vision board and mind map to identify your skills, values, and interests. Next, you will brainstorm occupations, organizations, and industries that may be a good fit for your skills, values, and interests.
