The Dreaded Question:
How many times have you been asked the existential crisis-inducing question, “What do you want to do with your life”? It’s tough to answer, especially when you don’t know what kind of options you have, nor the scope of the available careers out there in the “real world”.
The Path Ahead:
It’s difficult enough to navigate through life’s challenges as a young student, that’s why Spyder3D® makes it easy to explore several unique and engaging career pathways that can lead you directly to a fulfilling career right out of high school.
When it comes down to it, real-world experience is a lot more valuable to employers than a degree alone. Schooling is more often than not theory-based, and experience, for the most part, can only be gained outside of the classroom.
That’s where we come in. Our Spyder Lab™ integrates with your existing classes and allows you to immerse yourself in business, graphic media, and manufacturing, giving you the hands-on experience necessary to understand what working in these fields entail.
We Can Help:
Whether you plan on continuing your studies at a four-year college or heading straight to work after high school, our program can help you find a field that you’ll love, or will help you realize isn’t for you, so that you can continue to search for your passion.
Keep in mind that everybody learns and works differently. A four-year degree isn’t the right path for everyone. As long as you’re willing to learn and put in the work, you can easily find a wide array of lucrative careers that best suit your skillset.
