Welcome to the Career Center!<\/h3>\n

I hope to cover the following information today:<\/p>\n

  1. Class Website \u2013\u00a0www.nwtech.edu\/alvacc\/<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. How to use the Announcements menu for class announcements (select your program from the Categories menu) and notices of job openings<\/li>\n
  3. Take note of where you are sitting.\u00a0 This year\u2026 no rotating computers if possible!<\/li>\n
  4. If prompted, do not run any updates on the computers.<\/li>\n
  5. Can you log in to your Google Drive and view the folder I have created and shared with you?\u00a0 Did you provide me with a Google email? If not, we need to create a Google account for you today.<\/li>\n
  6. Can you find the Account Username and Password Google Sheet I shared with you? Note all usernames and passwords used in class in this Google sheet.<\/li>\n
  7. Complete the Learning Styles Inventory Survey and Assessment.\u00a0 Instructions are provided below.<\/li>\n
  8. Complete the WorkKeys assignment. I have added a document to your Shared Google Drive. Open the document in Google docs and complete the information (instructions below).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Learning Styles<\/h3>\n

    Each person learns in a unique way.\u00a0 Research suggests there are three basic\u00a0learning styles.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Visual<\/strong>\u2013 people who prefer to learn by seeing and reading<\/li>\n
    2. Auditory<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 those who prefer to learn by speaking and listening<\/li>\n
    3. Kinesthetic<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0individuals who prefer to learn by\u00a0touching and doing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It is important for students to identify their unique learning style or combination of styles in order to help reach their full potential.<\/p>\n

      Visual Learners will enjoy: Pictures, Maps, Videos, PowerPoint Presentations,\u00a0Reading, and Mind Maps.<\/p>\n

      Auditory Learners will enjoy:\u00a0Discussing, Listening, Film, Verbal Instructions, Repetition, and Question\/Answer Sessions.<\/p>\n

      Kinesthetic Learners will enjoy:\u00a0 Experiments, Crafts,\u00a0Drawing, Games, Hands on Learning, and\u00a0 Activities with Movement.<\/p>\n

      Open the Learning Styles Google Form \u2013\u00a0click here<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0 Complete the first six questions of the form before completing the Learning Style Assessment at\u00a0http:\/\/www.educationplanner.org\/students\/self-assessments\/learning-styles.shtml\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 (link provided within form). Upon completing the Learning Style Assessment, complete the rest of the Google form and submit it.\u00a0 Add your name to the results and then print three copies (one for you,\u00a0 one for your instructor and one for me).\u00a0 While the results are still on the screen, create a pdf of the results and upload it to the Shared folder I created for you on Google Drive.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      WorkKeys Assignment<\/h3>\n

      You should have also taken all three of the\u00a0WorkKeys assessments<\/strong>.\u00a0 I have placed a Score Report file in the Shared folder on the Google Drive for each of you.\u00a0 So how do your scores relate to occupations you are interested in?\u00a0\u00a0To find out more about specific careers and their skills requirements, check out the\u00a0ACT **\u00a0job\u00a0profiles\u00a0database<\/a>. **<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Based upon your results and your interests, select one career from the\u00a0**\u00a0ACT job profiles database<\/a>\u00a0**<\/strong>\u00a0and complete the\u00a0WorkKeys Completion Assignment<\/strong>\u00a0that I have put in your Career Center folder in Google Drive.\u00a0 Open the MS Word file as a Google Doc in order to complete the assignment. You may select a career of your choice to enter within the WorkKeys Completion Assignment (it does not have to be a career recommended thru the OkCareerGuide suggestions).\u00a0 You may select the desired information from the job profiles database and then right click and copy and the right click and \u201cpaste without formatting\u201d into the WorkKeys Completion Assignment.\u00a0 Please enter all the information requested for each question (Yes I want you to copy all of the job duties for the career not just a few you pick out).<\/p>\n

      If you enter a job title in the Job title field and no O\u2019Net Code job titles show up in the bottom box as shown below\u2026..<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Try not entering anything in the Job Title box and just select a Career Cluster and click Search to see what jobs show up then. You can select a job in the bottom box to get the information about that particular job.<\/p>\n
