Dear Class:

Learning Targets:
​Students will --​

1.       Identify work and education experience that is related to work world.

2.       ​Identify one strong career potential as your resume objective based upon your research.

3.       Know the five parts to a resume- personal information, job objective, education, work history and skills. 

Know career terms: job, occupation, cluster career, career learning areas

Career Vocabulary:

​JOB — A unique work situation or position, paid or unpaid. Activities performed on a regular basis in exchange for payment.

OCCUPATION — A group of related jobs that have similar duties, levels of responsibility, skills, knowledge, and physical demands. CIS uses about 600 occupational titles to describe the labor market.

CLUSTER — A way to group occupations by some common feature. Oregon uses 23 clusters to group occupations into five broad categories called Career Learning Areas.
​Career Learning Areas can help you focus on skills and knowledge related to your career goals and education plans.

CAREER — The combination of learning and work that a person pursues during his or her life.

 I have a handout on writing objectives and requirements that fit into the above exploration of specific occupations above.  However, I wish for the job objective to include either the cluster or career learning area.  I will go over that in class.

Finally, we will be looking at a video entitled:  "Life after High School Succeeding in the Workplace"

I had a lot of students not do the worksheet in conjunction with Randy Pausch video.  Most were blank and I have 0's in my gradebook as a result of it!  If you are not done with an assignment in class, I told you that it is "homework" for you that will be due.  Some of you worked diligently on it while it was playing but many did not.  

Furthermore, there were two assignments that I wanted saved as "CIS_Filter" and "CIS_Sort".  These were not done by many.   Please see the assignment below:

Please open CIS and go to the Occupations Tab. Occupations Filter and Occupations Sort under the Occupations tab in CIS.  We will do those today.  Make sure you copy and paste the results!

Finally, on your own:
