Career Connection

 

Through individual, cooperative, and competitive activities, members— discover their strengths, target career goals, and initiate a plan for achieving the lifestyle they desire. Career Connection guides students to develop, plan, carry out, and evaluate projects. The projects improve the quality of life in six (6) units. Students focus activities on different aspects of career development. Students can choose a unit, then plan and carry out related projects that strengthen their awareness of skills needed for careers.

Career Connections projects help members find career interests.

Here are a few ways to use this National Program.

  • Set up a team of career tutors in your school.
  • Assemble and distribute a directory of local employers who hire young people.
  • Develop and present interview do’s and don’t skits.
  • Assemble a transportation career fair for little children with vehicles and career areas in your school parking lot (police cars, fire trucks,  construction vehicles, delivery trucks, home health care cars, etc) and their corresponding career persons.
