1.  Watch Landing+a+Job+in+the+Trades;  Specifically focused on those students who plan on getting jobs in the trades.

2.  We will finish with: Skills for the Job PowerPoint. 
Website for CIS

We will be creating a Venn Diagram using the Skills you came up with in your skills selection and then you will do an "OCC" select to get the skills of the job you selected.  You will look at the top 15 skills and do a Venn Diagram based on those selections.  Make sure when you select the skills for the job you chose to be "saved as new" and put a notation of which job it is.

Create a doc called Skills_Venn_Diagram and create it in there by inserting and object/circle and we will go from there.

3.  Finish working on Exploration of Specific Occupations for rest of class
Exploration of Specific Occupations Link
This will focus on the jobs you chose. Follow the instructions particularly about the 5 paragraphs.  I will allot you a total of 1/2 hour to write the 5 paragraph description of the occupation you chose.  Please include things that fit who you are based on all input from the assessments and drawbacks to the job.
