Our students will help to develop a plan for pre-employment students  The pre-employment program is designed to give young adults, who dropped out of school or have graduated HS but have little direction, the life skills and attitude to become part of the community. The program is designed to include the community and business partners to ensure success for the individual.  Needs of the young adult will be assessed; such as transportation, family commitments, legal and others to make the training possible and successful.  We look for young adults that have:

o    a positive Attitude:

o   a good Aptitudes for doing certain kinds of things easily and quickly.

Student ownership- learning mindset concept:

Students control and manage their learning process.  This includes things you are interested in doing outside of the classroom such as getting into a college, a passion or a career.

Ownership to learning means that a learner is motivated, engaged and self-directed. It means they can monitor their own progress and are able to reflect on their learning based on mastery of content. ... For every learner to begin to understand how they learn, we need to turn to Universal Design for Learning (UDL).Nov 18, 2018

How:

• Have the students be part of creating this curriculum
• Use commercial movies as part of the learning process:

  As an example, use movies related to an education theme for learning methods, use movie with a sports theme for team-work methods.

• Questions are the starting of the dialogue.

Goal:

• Create a manual or web based document that defines the process using the outline of an elevator speech
• Live this as an example of its benefits.

But most executive education programs—designed as extensions of or substitutes for MBA programs—focus on discipline-based skill sets, such as strategy development and financial analysis, and seriously underplay important relational, communication, and affective skills.

Each person is responsible for taking ownership of their actions in a way that values building safe and positive classrooms. Student accountability encourages student learning, and helps improve academic performance and achievements.
