Studentcareerhub.com is a website for high school students allowing them to share information regarding careers and post-secondary pathways.
Overall, the impact I hope this project has is for students to be able to make more informed decisions on their future careers, and find a way to be the most productive with their time from an early age. Entering a post-secondary program without a clear goal insight can lead to financial loss and also considerable stress down the line, especially considering the increasing cost of living (e.g. rising rent prices in the GTA) and how much more difficult it is to get a job out of school.
At the moment, I am still working on growing the project. I hope the website is eventually able to be a spot where students can discuss future career paths with each other while sharing resources to help them along the way.

Initially paired up with a friend who aspires to be a teacher. For volunteer recruitment to help moderate and grow the site, I am recruiting through personal connections and online boards such as “Charityvillage” and local Peel-region volunteer boards. Currently have 1 new volunteer, and looking to grow the team to 5-6 people.
So far, through volunteer recruitment, seeing that there are people out there that share my vision for the idea.
Target audience is still high school to post-secondary students. Impacts can be discussed after website gains some usage and traction.
