Work Exposure Activities
In each module, you will do an activity that will get you out into your community, and into real workplaces. You will learn by looking at and talking to people. These can be modified if there are active health and movement restrictions in place. You will observe and learn about how businesses work and take notes about what you see. You will talk to employees and business owners or managers. This helps you to make more informed career choices and have realistic expectations about the working environment. You will be prepared for future work immersion, jobs, or running your own business.
