Acknowledgements
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) Open Press and the many advocates who have supported the development of Open Education Resources (OER) at TRU, especially, Brenna Clarke Gray, Marie Bartlett, Christine Miller, and Brenda Smith. Their dedication and advocacy led to the creation of the Open Press grant process, which made it possible for this project to be selected and allowed the concept of an OER focused on Career Exploration to develop into this resource.
We also extend heartfelt thanks to Dani Collins, TRU Open Press Publication Manager, for her ongoing support, expertise and enthusiasm for the project; Jessica Obando Almache, E-Learning Support Technician for always being ready to find the technical solution within the OER creation; Kaitlyn Meyers, Copy Editor and Copyright Auditor, for her editing expertise and Yujin Mi, Master of Education Student Researcher, for her help with the project.
