Final Project Idea, Get a Job

My final project idea has to do with students discovering what their strengths and weaknesses are and how they will find careers that match their strengths. I am not sure how to go about it, but I would like students to take a web based interest and skills inventory, and then be able to identify where their interests are.
They could then take advantage of the professional career counselor we have on campus to evaluate their results and direct them to research careers of their choice. To do this, we would access computer based technology, web research, web access to professionals in the field. Hopefully it would lead to a shadowing day, that they would be able to document their shadowing experience in a video journal “a day in the life of…..” This would eventually lead to a huge data base that has been created by students to document many different careers.
