Title: Number 1 Problem Nobody Discusses in College Planning and how to fix it!!
This webinar is brought to you by STEAM in AI + Career Key
Summary:
In college planning, admissions, ACT, recruiting sports coaches and many others ask students what major they intend to declare. Often, your high school junior or senior gives a blank stare, followed by “I don’t know!” This literally happened to co-presenter Juliet Jones 6 months ago with her son, and she is the CEO of career and college major decision expert Career Key!
And yet many parents, school and college counselors do not focus on college majors guidance. Instead, they focus on the choice of college. This can be a costly mistake, as the choice of major and related career are more important than the choice of college to a person’s long-term career and financial well-being – according to Gallup research.
Personality and interest assessment, experiential learning, and activities like those STEAMinAI.org and CareerKey.org offer fill in that missing guidance in practical, engaging ways for the student. Recently Career Key and STEAM in AI announced their strategic partnership (formal press release to come), and this is the 1 st in a webinar series to explore these topics.
In this webinar, Juliet Jones, CEO of Career Key and Shilpi Agarwal, CEO of STEAM in AI share,
- Why choice of major is an important problem for high school juniors and seniors to start solving
- Tips to help your child or client move in the right direction, one that research shows will lead to their long-term academic and career success, and
- How experiential learning in data science, ethics and AI literacy building activities can help a student save money over the long term.
