This video interviews an employee of a restaurant that employs people with disabilities. It is a great way to get a first-hand account into a job setting and would be good for Career Awareness, particularly for individuals with disabilities that could be more moderate-severe. This type of job could be good for people with disabilities to explore and gain insight into a setting that has employees with disabilities and what it could be like to work in this setting.

What Can YOU Do? video is a great video on Career Awareness as it shows the world of work for people with disabilities and resources available in relationship to disabilities and the workforce. It could also fall into Career Exploration, but I think it is strong for Career Awareness as it highlights the potential for a variety of jobs for individuals with disabilities and how organizations give job opportunities for their employees with disabilities. Could be good for families that do not realize the potential and options for their child in relationship to high school work experiences and post-secondary outcomes.

Career awareness I feel is one area that students can begin to explore at a younger age so that there is less of the process to cover when they reach high school. For this reason, the first video is meant for elementary age students. In our presentation this week, Dr. Simonsen stated that career awareness can often times state at the elementary age to have students understand that there are multitudes of career options available.

This video exemplifies career preparation because it depicts a student who is receiving on the job training in the form of an internship at a scooter store. Luis talks about the skills he has learned and what a positive experience he has had on the job.

Erredge_Bethany_Career Preparation_Transition Program

oliviabspencer — 2016-02-02 00:43:34 UTC

This clip is about a transition program and their success stories of preparing individuals with disabilities for their jobs and careers. In this clip they talk about the soft and hard skills required to work in various fields, and daily living skills to increase their independence. They go through the entire job application process, including appropriate interview skills. Then working with a job coach to learn the skills to be successful in their selected field.

oliviabspencer — 2016-02-02 00:44:48 UTC

Este video trata sobre la participación de los estudiantes y la obtención de empleo competitivo. El programa brinda experiencia laboral en la vida real combinada con capacitación en habilidades de empleo y habilidades para la vida independiente para ayudar a los jóvenes con discapacidades significativas a realizar una transición exitosa de la escuela a la vida adulta productiva. Este modelo implica un período extenso de capacitación y exploración de carreras, adaptaciones innovadoras, entrenamiento laboral a largo plazo y comentarios continuos de maestros, entrenadores laborales y empleadores. Como resultado, al finalizar el programa de capacitación, los estudiantes con discapacidades intelectuales significativas son empleados en trabajos no tradicionales, complejos y gratificantes.

Spencer_Olivia_Career Preparation_Job-Specific Video Tutorial

oliviabspencer — 2016-02-02 00:45:51 UTC

This is a video from Microburst Learning. This was mentioned in Module 2 presentation, and it is a site that teachers can use to take students through the career development process. This video in particular would fall under the category of Career Preparation because it shows specific skills needed to carry out a specific task within this job setting. On the site, you can look up virtual job tours and hone in on specific tasks within job settings.

“College students with disabilities tell about the value of work-based learning experiences and how to get these opportunities.” The video addresses career preparedness as students talk about meaningful and authentic work experiences and the skills needed. Some students talk about starting early with career exploration research. This video addresses internships and other work based learning such as job shadowing and service learning. It discusses the importance of being able to communicate specific needs, accommodations, and disclosure of disabilities.

Spencer_Olivia_Career Preparation_Get the Job...Keep the Job!

oliviabspencer — 2016-02-02 00:53:42 UTC

This is called Get the Job...Keep the Job! It is made by students and demonstrates what skills are necessary for getting a job and keeping a job. It also shows how to ask for accommodations when applying or receiving a job. Would be great for Career Preparation for students with disabilities. This video could be a pre-cursor to going on a job site for hands-on experiences, paid work experiences, apprenticeships, etc. It would be good for students to practice soft skills within the classroom before going on site to a job. As mentioned in the Module 2 presentation, it is important for students to practice within their jobs and have supervision to learn how to adequately access assistive technology, practice soft skills, manage themselves within a job, etc. In the video, the student who uses a wheelchair speaks on the accommodations that would be needed to do his job. This would be a great video to use for students who needed to advocate for their accommodations and have practice doing so before going onto the job site, hopefully generalizing those skills as they worked on a job site.

The CareerOneStop has this page full of videos that outlines different abilities or needs to a specific job. For example, there is a video about what it means for a job to require "endurance" and what that might look like in a job. This would be beneficial for exploring careers further to determine if the needs and demands of a job fit what the students' skill set is.

The website also provides videos on Cluster careers that would be given to a student after taking an career interest test. These videos give examples of careers within those specific clusters. These videos are also available in Spanish!

This second video is an introduction video to the website Careeronestop.org. While this video doesn't directly give awareness on different careers it introduces the website to students on how it would help them learn about other careers.

Erredge_Bethany_Career Awareness_STEM Career Showcase

bethany_erredge — 2016-02-13 10:35:51 UTC

The video I found and really enjoyed is very long, but I have used segments of it to display various career opportunities to my students. This is a panel taking place at Berkeley where multiple people with disabilities and different companies speak about the opportunities to be aware of. This panel is focused on STEM careers, which is a large topic of conversation in California schools. It is truly an inclusive panel that discusses disabilities in general and the opportunities that any student can have. The various speakers give their accounts into their own disabilities and finding a job.

Career Awareness for Elementary Students

This video was made by Buckalope Elementary School and is a fun way to expose young students to different jobs that they might be able to relate to. Looks like it could be part of an engaging lesson on what you want to be when you grow up.

Shelly Journey

Here is a guide called “Career Exploration Lessons for Sixth and Seventh Grades” that has lessons that can be used in the classroom. For example, one lesson focuses on avoiding termination in the workplace. Another lesson talks about examples of inappropriate behaviors on the job. This guide is full of different activities and plans ready to use for career exploration.
