U-Blog 2
This isn't going to be too long of an entry because it's straight to the point. I really like the idea of having a workshop that students must attend to monitor job activities. Seeing firsthand how day-to-day tasks are completed in a professional setting related (or unrelated) to our major is great. In my previous post discussing different job education I mentioned how important I feel job shadowing is for a new employee to get a feel for what could be their new career. This isn't a full-blown apprenticeship or anything that involved, but it's still a great opportunity to get close to an actual trade's daily procedures. Not only that, but it will give the students the ability to learn from these places how different fields can adapt to different customers.

I totally agree with the idea of shadowing someone before taking a job. Its very important to make sure you choose your career wisely so you wouldn't have any regrets about it later on in life. If the students can start doing this at an early age and prepare for the work enviorment it would be much easier when then actually get in and do it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you too especially on the idea that students should attend workshops where they can monitor job activities and first hand information on how day-to-day tasks are completed in a professional major.I think that way students can learn better and gain information that will no be easy to forget.
