Preparing for Career Success

Description:

In this course, students use exploration and personal reflection to discover their vocational interests, skills, personality, and work style preferences while exploring the world of work and future career opportunities that appeal to them. During the course, students will practice job search skills including creating an action plan, writing a resume and cover letter, gathering references, and interviewing for a job. Students will also complete an approved internship in their local community where they will integrate skills including teamwork, problem solving, effective communication, and utilizing feedback.

Special Notes:

Students must complete a 40-hour internship to successfully complete the requirements of this course. This enables students to receive valuable experience and feedback in a workplace setting. The student and supervisor will be responsible for initiating and scheduling all internships; however, the internship may not be completed in the parent’s workplace, family business, or family ministry. This course is intended for juniors and seniors who are eligible to work in some capacity in their local communities.
