For this assignment you will be reaching out to a professional who is practicing in a vocation which
interests you. You will conduct an interview with this individual which may be done in person, Zoom, skype,
phone or other communication means. It may be helpful for you to choose someone in a career you would
most like to pursue, but this is not essential. Most importantly, you must approach this assignment in
the context of helping you understand the life span development process and how the information
your selected professional provides to you will help shape your study and knowledge of the course
material. This assignment is not a career investigation, but rather an opportunity to consider and
gain an understanding of how the course concepts discussed in Life Span Growth and
Development course apply within a real-world context.
