Start Where You Are Professional Website

WINOOSKI — Kelliher Samets Volk (KSV) and the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) have received three national awards for the Start Where You Are Professional Website KSV developed for VSAC.

The honors consist of an Education Standard of Excellence award from the Web Marketing Association and two silver W³ awards from the International Academy of the Visual Arts in the categories of Education and Structure/Navigation.

KSV helped VSAC design the original project, including the fun and interactive Start Where You Are Web site for Vermont teens and parents, winner of three awards in 2008. The recent Web awards honor a new component of the site devoted to resources for educators and other professionals who work with Vermont youth on career planning.
