Career Informatinal Fair has been moved to May 2 for Periods 4 & 6 and May 3 for Periods 1, 3, & 5.
All Components of the project needs to be turned in by May 11 for Service Learning Credit!
Career Fair Service Learning Project
Students will be participating in a Service Learning Project for their Career Exploration Class. Students will choose, research, create informative visuals, and present the Environmental Friendly career of their choice to their peers. In order to receive full credit and service learning credit students must complete the following components:
Reflections: One Page typed for each reflection. (15 Pts. Each)
a. Pre: Explain why you chose the career of your choice. What do you currently know about the career? What are some things you can do to accomplish this career goal? What are your thoughts about the components of the service learning project?
b. Mid: What is your progress? How is your career environmental friendly? What new information about your career did you find from your research? Has your interest in the career changed?
c. Post: What did you liked or disliked about the service learning project? How can it be improved? How has this service learning project help you with your career goal?
Fact Sheet: List statistics, facts, frequently asked questions about your career. Topics can include information from the Scavenger Hunt listed on my blog. These topics are description, environment, earnings, education, training, skills, licenses, certificates, preferred school, hierarchy, bibliography, and etc. Any other pertinent information about the career may be added. Information is brief. Single sided 8 x 11 paper with at least 3 references (MLA format) listed at bottom. (15 Pts.)
Pamphlet: Same as fact sheet, but with more detailed information. Double sided 8 x 11 paper with same references listed on the back. (20 Pts.)
Tri-Fold: Same as pamphlet, but more creative and visually appealing. Must have a cardboard Tri-Fold. Needs to display information from above and images relating to the career. (25 Pts.)
Activity: Create an education activity that is relatively quick and will engage students to learn more about your career. (15 Pts.)
Presentation: Students will have to set up their own booth before classes arrive. Students will have to come up with a 3-5 minute presentation and will have to facilitate their activity and answer any questions asked. Professional Dress (30 Pts.)
The total amount of points is 150. In order to receive full credit and service learning credit all of the components must be met. If not, students will receive points earned for completed components, but will not receive service learning credit.
Green Collar Careers can be either white or blue-collar jobs, with an eco-twist White-collar and blue-collar are traditional terms to denote different types of work. White-collar jobs are typically office and clerical jobs, like administration, sales and marketing, whereas blue-collar jobs are typically more hands-on, like jobs in the trades and construction. These terms came from the idea that white-collar workers wear a suit to work, while blue-collar workers often wear a uniform. Although there are lots of environmental issues that we’re passionate about, the GCC program focuses specifically on jobs in the growing green energy sector. There are many new green energy careers popping up that never existed before and require specialized training, such as Geothermal Engineers or Energy Auditors, or Wind Turbine Technicians. There are also many roles in the green collar sector designed for people with "transferable" skill sets, so careers as a Software Developer, or Event Planner, or Policy Analyst could also be a green collar career. For example, a web designer can work for any number of companies, but a web designer who makes websites for an environmental company has a green collar career.
The following is a list of green collar careers:
Wind Turbine Technician
Solar Panel Installer
Master Electrician
Lighting Specialist
HVAC Technician (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
Green Roof Installer
Automotive Engineer
