Job Orientation Training for Businesses and Schools Information for teachers
Project objective and target group JOBS project aims to promote, in the participating schools, job orientation training for students in the last two years of gymnasium and the first year of technical and vocational education, using specific learning and teaching methods.
How does JOBS work?
What is the role of the student?
By introducing task based learning approaches and useful education contents, the students are guided toward the right choice of their future profession. Through a transcurricular approach the students are going through 7 different booklets during the whole school year:
The student is the main actor of the project!
M 1: Jobs!!! Investigating into job biographies of different persons M 2: Me and my strengths. Analyzing my competences, interests and personality M 3: The world of JOBS. Exploring a box full of surprises M 4: Job opportunities. Discussing possibilities, chances and risks
• The student decides upon the result and success of his activity. • The student gets knowledge by himself/ herself acquiring new life skills. • The student learns how to manage his time. • The student gets to know himself/ herself better, to maximize his/her potential and improve his/her weaknesses. •
The student is the one who will choose the future profession or will go to future university studies for which he/she discovered to have abilities.
M 5: Ready for the JOB! Preparing for our Job exploration
What is the role of the teacher?
M 6: My Job exploration!
• The teacher actively supports the students in working in a project oriented and task based way.
M 7: JOBS Fair. Processing and presenting the exploration results
Toolbox: This is a set of instructions, worksheets, instruments and checklists as support for students
• The major focus in teaching JOBS is the switch from teacher-centred methods to student-centred learning. • The teachers are working in a team using pro ject oriented and task based learning approaches.
How are the teachers trained?
What is the role of the parents?
The JOBS teachers are trained by the MNE and the PH Zürich for the project implementation.
• The parents, as an influencing factor in the school and professional future of their children are informed about the project activities.
• The teachers will benefit from information materials. (www.jobsproject.ro) • The booklets for teachers include practical hints. • The teachers can visit classes taught by the formative teachers in a network of pilot schools, where the JOBS project is implemented. •
The teachers will have access to the e-learning platform and will be supported. A group of experts are trained as mentors for accompanying teachers during this e-based initial or continuous training pro- gramme.
•
The parents support the students on their path towards a successful professional career by being interested in what they do, by taking their time discussing with them, listening to them.
What is the role of the businesses? • The businesses that are involved in JOBS are informed about the needs of the schools and of the students. • The businesses have a training role in JOBS and support the students in the exploration process. • The businesses involved in project imple- mentation are JOBS labelled.
