myDreamExplorer helps schools meet state EDP standards
myDreamExplorer® is all about students and their futures: classes, colleges, jobs and careers. MVU, Microsoft Corp. and the State of Michigan collaborated in the evolution of myDreamExplorer into a powerful, career development site. And now it’s even better.
myDreamExplorer follows a four-step decision making model. In the final stage, students create an electronic Education Development Plan (EDP) that follows the six basic EDP elements approved be the Michigan Department of Career Development as part of the Career Preparation System:
- Personal information
- Career assessment results
- Career pathway goals
- Plan of action
- Educational/training goals
- Parent/family consultation and endorsement
(for students under 18)
