This project is designed to assist 8th grade students in developing a sense of the current job market and provide them with the information they will need to know in order to find, secure, and advance in the job market. Finding a job is a challenge that faces almost everyone at some time. It is not enough to just want a job.
People have to get out there and look for jobs.
The following outline has been selected in the anticipation that it will serve as a foundation for students beginning the world of work. Additional areas and items will be added as needs arise. This project is also designed to meet the needs of students in San Carlos, California. If you choose to use this project, please feel free to add or delete any activities or ideas unsuited for your particular needs. At the time of the writing of this project, the idea is being presented to the administration and district for use in an 8th grade class.
