Professional Projects
Course Description
This course helps students apply the concepts and skills they have learned in their coursework to a professional project. During the first week of the course, students identify an appropriate 50-hour project they can use for the course. Projects fit into one of three areas: work-related projects, service and volunteer projects, or personal professional development projects. In addition to completing the 50-hour project, students complete tasks and assignments that help promote professional development and career readiness.
1. Demonstrate the ability to work independently on a professional project.
2. Create a summary of the professional project to include in a professional portfolio.
3. Communicate the outcomes of the project through a written report.
4. Develop career-readiness skills.
