Our third experience of the year is all about Careers. It's time to consider "what do you want to be when you grow up?"  We're hoping to take it a step further. We started by looking at the four ministry questions - Who Am I? What do i want to become? What are my opportunities? What is my plan for getting there? You'll see our good copy thoughts in about a week or two.

As always, pictures to follow, but for now two padlets below.

Day 2 saw us continue our journey into the future.

Math centred on mental strategies to solve real life math problems around Seneca's tuition costs. You can give it a try if  you're a non student as well!

Today's padlet is moving us towards further understanding what our future jobs may entail.

Yes I HAVE been thinking of firefighting for MANY years as you'll see from the picture below taken 6 years ago!

 We're moving towards creating a resume for the future you as you apply for your future job (yes you'll consider the education, job experience, and volunteer experience that you've hopefully had by then.)

Here's a sample from Ms. Stoner.  We'll add some student examples up as they're completed.

You'll also be contacting a primary source about your job (Mitzi's example included - Email BTC Seneca Mitzi.pdf and creating a day in the life.  Example below. And yes remember what critical thinking is because NOT all office workers have this type of "simple" experience.

Day 3

Fantastic day that will be documented more soon.

For now, here is the final artifact explanation.

Day 4

We finished our the careers experience with a fantastic day at Google's head office in Toronto that included hearing from a panel of Googlers about how they chose their jobs, doing mock interviews and having our top 4 resumes chosen by a google staff member.
