1.   We will be watching:
Three Million Open Jobs in US
 Three million open jobs in U.S., but who's qualified?  Create a blank document and name it:  Last Name_Three_Million_Open_Jobs

Respond to these questions.
Justify your answer with a reference from the video.

1.   Based on the speakers in the video, who are the parties responsible for training/educating people for employment and why?

2.  What is your opinion about this matter? Do you agree with them or not? Explain.

3.  Do you think many of your peers are ready for entering the working environment? Why?

4.  What would you suggest they do to better prepare themselves for work?

2.  Create a doc called "My_Job"  We will be taking a screen shot of the comparisons in the three areas:  Skills/Work Importance Locator/Interest Profiler.  Then we will get the jobs from the Meyers Briggs section.


Copy the jobs from the "Character" survey into the "My_Jobs" document.  That will now create a document that encompasses Interest Profiler/Importance Locator/Skills/Meyers Briggs/Character. We will be choosing an "Occupation" from that group of job lists.  Label each as you copy and paste them in.  Go to  CIS and look at the descriptions of the occupations you might be interested in and any jobs you don't know what they do.  I want to see you working on it!!!!

This is exploratory on your side.  I want to see you looking at jobs.  Things happen...your life changes.  I want to see one specific occupation and three backups!  For the specific job, I want you to write at minimum of a paragraph as to why you chose that occupation.  Look at the quick view of that occupation in CIS to see the pay, outlook, numbers, etc.

Look at "Order by Cluster" if you need to back up and look at more general terms for grouping.
