Distance Learning for All Vocational Students
The Need
Boston Reed's "Career Garden" curriculum for Career Preparation helps adult schools facing these needs:
- Workers in every industry need Career Preparation skills to be successful.
- Many adult school students have little time for additional traditional classes because of work commitments.
- Many adult schools have small career training programs in which filling a classroom for a Career Preparation course may be difficult.
Career Garden Content
Career Garden provides an independent learning module for each of these key Career Preparation skill areas:
- Study Skills
- Setting Career Goals
- Networking & Information Interviews
- Resumes
- Interviews
- Teamwork
- Customer Service
- Working with Difficult People
- Stress Management
The Mode
- Materials can be viewed online or printed out from the Career Garden Website.
- Take-home lessons present career preparation skills and direct students to practical assignments and reflection on their experiences.
- Teacher meets with student at school or at work to review work and introduce next lesson.
- Schools can assign Career Garden to students in face-to-face technical training classes as a valuable "soft skills" compliment.
