DeBruce Career Corps members put their Developing Others Agility to work by facilitating professional development sessions for hundreds of students in the ProX Summer Internship program! Students came away from their #internships knowing their top #Agilities, how they used them this summer, and how to talk about their strengths and interests in the future: “I Innovated by designing a career fair for my high school” “I Managed the work flow within my team and Organized the development of our solution and project”  “I Served and Cared for children where I resolved conflicts between them… and helped them engage in STEM-based games.” #ExpandingPathways #CareerLiteracy #CareerDevelopment
