Our JA volunteer, Mr Synder, did similar mock job/scholarship interviews with our students while doing the Career Choice curriculum and it was amazing to watch them learn and get a lot nervous. I would highly recommend this experience with your students, particularly before they walk out of our doors as seniors. I was a great experience and they even admitted it (go figure!).

Helps connect math, sciences, etc to real world. I believe its ther esponsobility of employers and recruiters to do this (schools and teachers just don't know all the diffrence kinds of engineering jobs and how to describe them to kids....) Plus the green jobs sector is growing.... Job shodowing great way to get kids to see glimpse of what jobs are indemand and to inspire kids to stay in school and do better in school.

]]> Comment on New Colorado Personal Financial Literacy Standards by MJW http://www.jacolorado.org/jablog/2009/11/new_pfl_standards/#comment-2885 MJW Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:53:47 +0000 http://www.jacolorado.org/jablog/?p=67#comment-2885 This is great news and hopefully an inspiration to other corporations to get involved in what really is a 'national' crisis and needs to be seriously addressed now. With the financial crisis, front and center, financial literacy education is getting the much needed attention. We still need to see state education leaders addressing the graduation requirement of a personal finance class, not economics, for all high school students. The key is education, education, education. I champion this cause each and every day as an author of Your Money Day One: How to Start Right and End Rich. It is available for young adults through amazon.com or an MP3 download on audible.com or iTunes.
