Wrapping Up the Real World Challenge

Have you completed any or all of the Real World Challenge with your students this semester? If so, we would truly appreciate you taking some time to provide your feedback about your Real World Challenge experience. 

Wrapping Up the Challenge

The Real World Challenge was created as a response to a growing need for career education integrated throughout the curriculum. The Real World Labour Market Challenges allow students to see themselves outside of the classroom, to understand their role in the labour market, and use labour market information to inform career decision-making.
