Creating a portfolio of work is also paramount, and if you can create work for actual employers or nonprofits, that is even better! You can seek out opportunities, paid or unpaid, to create or update websites for small nonprofits, small businesses, or even student clubs or organizations. The Web &amp; Digital Communication Pathway provides excellent preparation for a career in web development. Students take courses in web design and web development. We also provide test prep for the Adobe Certified Professional: Visual Design (Photoshop). Our unique project-based learning curriculum focuses on helping students create a portfolio of work to showcase their skills to employers. Membership in Business Professionals of America (BPA), the leading CTSO (Career and Technical Student Organization) for students pursuing careers in business, including web development, is included in this tuition-free program.*** BPA is a terrific organization for networking, r\u00e9sum\u00e9 building (through its many competitions), and skills development. BPA\u2019s Workplace Skills Assessment Program (WSAP) allow students to develop and demonstrate their graphic design and other problem-solving skills at regional, state, and national conferences, including specific competitions dedicated to website design, computer animation, and digital communication. BPA also offers students the ability to assume leadership positions and compete for scholarships.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 d-flex justify-content-center\"><div class=\"btn-primary  \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.k12.com\/stride-career-prep\/faqs\/\">Read all Career &amp;
