Career Exploration: Inquiry Project Vocational Studies Jobs
About This Product
Through this engaging Career Exploration Project students will explore jobs in different sectors including: healthcare, education, tourism, business, medicine, and more!
This project is unique as it encourages students to think creatively and research less common options for careers, instead of only the stereotypes we always talk about.
So, instead of doctor in the healthcare field, what about a phlebotomist, a heart valve specialist, or a paediatric nurse? Instead of a president in the field of government, what about a speech writer, a social media expert, or a municipal clerk?
There are so many varied jobs out there- and many of them students don't even know exist.
Each student will be assigned one career sector. You can pick yourself, or let your students choose what they are most interested in.
They will think of three of the common stereotypical jobs in that sector.
Then, they will do research to discover four more unique or less common options.
For each new career they think of, they must find out
the education required to get that job
the skills needed before you can be hired
the daily activities that you will do
the pay range
At the end, students can pick their favourite option from the four new careers they have researched and present what they have discovered to the class.
