SpringPath The Podcast
This podcast series was designed to help students make informed decisions about their future. We interview 3 key resources from each post-secondary institution (Colleges, Universities & Trade Schools) to help demystify the "Path":
First we talk with the head of Admissions about campus life and attributes of successful first year students in their general studies programs.
Next we talk with the Chair or Dean of each school program such as Finance, Nursing, Psychology and many more. We ask what they look for and what they see in students successfully entering and graduating the program.
Finally we speak with graduates of the program thriving in the business world as professionals in their elected field. We ask how the program prepared them for their work environment. Also, which internship or coop assistance programs the school provided in the job placement process.
