This is a new program, although we are discussing a corroboration with the local high school district, this has not been implemented yet. We are collaborating on distance learning and peer training currently. Week 1 Students select and research 3 job openings. Then students roll dice to see which jobs they are offered. An odd number means no offer, an even number means an offer.
Students then select from their offers.
In the event that no even numbers are rolled, the student re-rolls for each job. To conclude this week's activity, students plug their gross monthly salary into a payroll program on the Internet to determine their taxes and net income. Week 2 Students will research places to live near the location of their jobs. It must be a real and available dwelling and their salary must support the choice. They may choose to have roommates either advertised or in the class.
