ON NOVEMBER 6
Part 4 – Go out and enjoy your day on November 6th! Remember you are an ambassador of Magee so conduct yourself with the same standard of behaviour that you display at school. During your day, make sure you get answers to the following questions:
a – About the host organization – Where you went and some details about the organization/ workplace (e.g., what do they do, how big is it (# of employees), types of jobs there)
b – About the host – What does your host do? What level of education is needed for their job? What skills do they use to do their job well? How did they develop those skills?
c – Photo time – Please take a selfie of yourself at the workplace. It can be in front of the main entrance, it can be at a desk you sat at, etc. Please ask permission before you do this.
Part 5 – Written Reflection of Your Day – Write a one to two page reflection (typed, double spaced, 12 pt font) on your experience. Your reflection would include what you learned about:
– the workplace you visited including details about the organization
– your host’s job (and was it what you thought it would be like?)
– the special skills and training people who work there need and use
– the general skills (e.g., punctual, communication, team work, etc.) that people who worked there need and use
– which of these general skills you think you have already
– which of these general skills that you want to develop or improve
– one thing that you learned from this experience that you think will help you when looking at careers for yourself in the future
