Earning real-world experience before graduation is one of the best ways for new college graduates to gain a strong advantage in the highly competitive job market.

One group of students at Rasmussen College in Ft. Myers will get a unique opportunity this semester to hone their skills and combine that experience with the chance to help a local charity in the process.

As part of the classroom curriculum for fall term that begins Oct. 3, students at Rasmussen College’s School of Technology and Design will work directly with a local Ft. Myers charity to design, build and launch a fully-functional website to enhance the organization’s mission and goals.
