On February 8th, I presented on ?fun and practical websites? at the NCDA Career Institute in Southern California. Below, I have listed a few of the websites that I have not shared in past blogs, with short descriptions to give you a flavor for the value of reviewing such websites for professional growth and knowledge about the changing world of work. In my next blog, I will share a few other websites that are especially good to use with teenagers.
