IT 223 Sophomore IT Career Exploration Seminar

Technology is a broad and growing field offering opportunities for many careers, from AI engineer to software developer to UI/UX engineer to cybersecurity analyst and more. These careers are constantly changing, many impacted by AI, and students must be aware of new requirements so that they can ensure their Marymount education and their co-curricular activities support their planned career focus. The purpose of this seminar is for sophomore students to explore the ever-changing variety of technology careers available and to understand the professional, educational, and skill requirements necessary to enter and flourish in their chosen field now and in the future. Activities also enable students to develop skills including timeliness, teamwork, and communications, including group and individual oral presentations, a written white paper in a chosen field, and initial cover letters and resumes. Students must achieve a minimum grade of C. (1)
