MAX’s career sessions are an immersion into a global mindset that prepares viewers for understanding how their potential careers may be impacted by the shrinking world. This requires expanding one’s knowledge of viable careers, who our potential employers might be, what the opportunities and threats to our career livelihood might be; and new tools and processes for reaching, interacting and benefitting with this broader playing field. For example, a MAX-CC viewer will discover (how to):
-
The ‘Coolest’ New Careers; The Hottest New Industries – how are the “death of distance,” shifting societal values and exploding new industries (such as the Green movement, Nanotechnology, the Human Genome Project, the Internet, etc.) creating millions of lucrative new jobs?
-

-
What is globalization – its pros and cons, with regards to businesses … countries… cultures and communities...environmental factors…how can we take advantage of the “good” and prevent, avoid or mitigate the “bad”?

MAX borrows freely from history, current affairs, mythology and sociology, economics, geo-politics and everything but-the-kitchen sink to deliver crucial lessons learned. More to the point, presenter Banick knows that people learn in multiple ways, and being a true “Edutainer,” he just can’t help tapping into an array of fables, anecdotes, jokes, stories and other intriguing platforms to help career seekers relate to the wider world. For example:
-
