Education
The field of education is broad. From K-12 to Higher Education, those who work in education share a professional interest in supporting the learning of others and promoting education. Careers can include teaching at any level, education administration, library science and curriculum design. There are also endless intersections with education to be explored, like education policy, Nonprofits and NGOs that support education, and educational programs through museums or corporations, to name a few. We encourage you to check out these recommended resources for career exploration, internship and job searches.
