Hi Kate Great idea to suggest or offer coureses on how to set up your own business, develop it, and practice management techniques. The community project sounds like a great way to push students to discover what other opportunities there are for them. Also other ways to serve the community. I don't feel distance education is an obstacle to interview skills development. There are books that provide great training and practice in interviewing. I just got a new catalog from JIST publishing. They have many many books on employment skills development. Something to look at. We find that encouraging career goals, planning, and building from the state has a positive impact on student retention and success. You're doing great. Susan
