The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I want to create a program for school field trips related to career opportunities and exploration for teens. Often youth have limited exposure to diverse career fields, so it would be great to show students how they can use their skills in the future
Who it helps and why
It helps expose more people to the opportunities and career resources that there are, advancing young students from different backgrounds.
