JobsMadeReal!

The basic concept of Jobs Made Real was conceived by Mike Marzalek, an engineer in Northern California who realized after a meeting with an educator from Santa Rosa Junior College, that many teens do not know what job or careers exist, and have little visibility to what people really do in their jobs. Mike partnered with his wife Suzy, who led the strategic direction.
