MicroCareerBursts

MicroCareerBursts are interactive lessons built for the short attention spans of teenagers and young adults. The lessons allow students to remotely experience jobs that might not be located nearby. Also, students can complete virtual job shadows to make sure they are interested in a career field before visiting the job site.

Why MicroCareerBursts?

• Provides real-life comparisons for everyday tasks and job-specific tasks
• Encourages students to focus on specific skills to prepare for a job in the specified career field
• Requires students to actively participate in the virtual job shadow. They cannot simply “click through” the learning experience.
• Creates a friendly and encouraging learning environment that grabs the students' interest through the use of interactive educational games
• Answers common career-related questions through video examples, subject-matter expert interviews, pictures and narrated text
• Gives students opportunities to experience the typical tasks of the career field through behind-the-scenes videos and interviews

Students can access IT MicroCareerBursts via the Personal Pathways to Success web portal.
