Heather Chavin Plank’s Experience

• Owner

  Use Your College Degree

  (E-Learning industry)

  January 2008 — Present (1 year 11 months)

  This is my start up. I'm looking to bridge the gap between choosing a college major and getting a job after graduation. With careful and targeted planning a student can come out of school much more employable and earn a much better wage. Will use video and pdf downloads. Filming is a third of the way done and looking absolutely spectacular!
