This grant will be used to fund an ongoing project that focuses on the question, “Who do I want to be?” This year, TFIM students have been exploring our school programs, determining what careers exist within those fields, and searching for the pathways to reach their career goals.
The TFIM students used the grant to purchase video equipment enabling students to conduct interviews and compile them into a video library of possible career options stemming from a LCCTC education. Currently, they are working on the videos and hope to post them soon for prospective students to peruse.
