Project Summary

A six-week trial period of the EPICS career development program to use with the WMSA students. This would include the online assessment, the Skill Set web form, and activities such as fillable pdf’s, word searches, mediations and vision board. Included is the Spanish version of the assessment and most activities. If needed, a physical card deck of EPICS will be loaned to WMSA.

Project Vision

EPICS can provide an effortless way to explore career interests for students with limited reading ability or special needs. By eliminating the language barrier, students can directly identify occupational environments and interests without struggling with text-based, traditional assessments.

Activities are right brained and intuitively based which uses visual literacy as a way to engage the consumer. Individuals who grapple text-based assessments, are given the opportunity to watch videos, listen to YouTube videos and create a vision board which can spark the desire to explore career development farther.
