Description:
This program is
designed to provide a forum for LEP students to conduct career
development activities in a supportive environment. It uses the
career development software, "Discover." The software addresses the
many needs of LEP students by providing printed words on the screen
and a speaker that says the words at the same time.
The software is an interactive career development program that
assesses 1) interests, 2) values, and 3) abilities during a 45
minute session. In additional, the software uses multicultural role
models as examples. The software can be accessed from a home or
other off campus computer if the student has a college-generated ID
number.
