My Career-Connected Learning project goal was to improve my curriculum for the Biotechnology Career Seminar credit portion of my dual-credit Biotechnology Course. For the last five years, I have been using resources provided by Madison College to teach the Career Seminar portion of the course; however, I have found that their resources are best suited for current technical college students, not necessarily for students at the high school level. I have modified and updated the Biotechnology Career Seminar curriculum to make it more applicable to high school students. I focused on several curriculum components including a resume and cover letter writing project. Students will use a resource called Xello for resume writing. They will receive written feedback on their resumes and cover letters from their peers, myself, and an industry professional. Additionally, throughout the semester, I will invite at least four guest speakers with careers in biotechnology to talk to students about their companies, job positions, and career paths.Here is a link to a 2-minute video overview of the project.
