What are experiential opportunities?

Experiential opportunities are career exploration activities in which a student is placed at a community business or medical facility and paired with an employee, observes the workday of that employee, interacts with clients or customers, and attends meetings and other appointments with the person they are working with. Experiential opportunities are designed to help students explore a field of interest while developing skills and building occupational knowledge.
