Summary
This Flex PBL is intended to be in the third wave of projects student engage with as they return to school for the 2020-2021 academic year.
Using the free, highly interactive online training program provided by Skills to Succeed Academy (S2SA), this project focuses on one module per week with time allowed each week for working on this project’s Public Product. Each module helps learners build the skills and confidence needed to make smart career choices and find and succeed in employment. The four S2SA modules being used from the Getting a Job section are:
1) Who Can Help You?
2) Create Your Resumé
3) The Application Form
4) A Better Cover Letter
Skills to Succeed Academy is a proud sponsor of the JAG organization and strives to support JAG students in completing modules as a way to boost their employability skills. Each year S2SA seeks to connect youth with their valuable courses; however, this year their resources are needed more than ever. S2SA modules can be administered in variety of ways:
-
Assigned for students to complete outside of school in an asynchronous manner
-
Streamed to groups or classrooms of students via a video conferencing service
-
Facilitated in-person through a classroom overhead projector
