Dear Class:
  • Know the acronym PACE, the purpose of this class,  and how it will benefit them. 
  • Know how to navigate the class website to complete class work.
  • Understand the value of self-assessments
1.   We will be watching:
 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.
A.   Based on the speakers in the video, who are the parties responsible for training/educating people for employment and why?
B.  What is your opinion about this matter? Do you agree with them or not? Explain.
C.  Do you think many of your peers are ready for entering the working environment? Why?
D.  What would you suggest they do to better prepare themselves for work?

2.  Log into CIS again.  Today we will explore what it will take to live on a fixed budget.  To do this, we will be looking at "Reality Check" which is under the "Occupations" tab.  Please screen shot the result, copy and paste into a new doc entitled "Your name_Reality_Check".  We will explore this later as we define the occupation you wish to achieve and what the resulting pay will be.  The occupation will be defined by all of the surveys you took!

4.   Finish the Meyer's Briggs survey. Copy and paste your results into a Google document: Create a doc and label it: FullName_MeyersBriggs.  Select the "careers" button and copy the jobs they suggest given your personality.  Then, one to two paragraphs as to whether these jobs align with other ones you have looked at thus far.  Look for commonalities...differences...things tolerated...education to be obtained.
;.  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.
