Community Exploration

TigerLIFE designed a class for our students to visit businesses and organizations that represent different industries and jobs in the community so they could see and experience the environments and employees first-hand. Students are provided the opportunity to ask questions of employers and employees to help them determine if these are jobs that they would like.
