Improvement Details
| Details | For the first time, in Fall 2013 WKEX students used Insight as a tech-enhanced component of the WKEX classes. Students participated in discussion forums and had access to a wide variety of employment-related resources. By sharing their experiences and resources, students had a richer experience and a greater opportunity to learn from each other more about the employment options in a variety of fields. |
