I can make a ready-to-use 8-slide PowerPoint (content + slide notes + image/video suggestions) you can drop into PowerPoint or Prezi and finish. I don’t have live access to the Hutchings College & Career Academy site to pull exact course-credit numbers or current certifications they offer, so I can either:
- Build a finished slide deck using typical career pathways found at many college & career academies (you’ll need to verify exact credits/certificates with Hutchings and I’ll show where to replace them), or
- Fill in exact credits/certifications if you paste the Hutchings pathway names or a link to their program descriptions.
Which do you prefer? Below is a complete 8-slide template using 4 common pathways (you can swap any for actual Hutchings pathways). Each pathway section meets the assignment requirements (why interested, skills, experience & certs, college credits, high-school credits, jobs & salaries). Use this content directly or tell me the Hutchings-specific pathways and I’ll customize.
