Expand Experiences... "How Are You Growing?"
Social capital and self-efficacy emerge from a wide range of individuals' experiences. Projects, collaboration, simulations, embedded work experiences, and interactions with role models help individuals expand the context and understanding of the world of work. Who out there is doing specific kinds of work? What are the options?
