Pillars of Student Success
Following participation in the learning experience, students will be able to:
-- Apply 4Cs: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
-- Demonstrate strong soft skills.
-- Rank work priorities.
-- Recognize STEM and other high-growth industries.
-- Identify personal-brand and job-hunting tools—resumes, cover letters, interviews, and digital profiles.
JA Career Success is part of the Work and Career Readiness Pathway and is recommended for students in high school.
The learning experience is volunteer-led and kit-based, and can be implemented as a Classroom Based, or JA AfterSchool Program. It includes seven 45-minute sessions with additional extended learning activities and optional digital assets offered throughout.
JA teachers and volunteers are encouraged, as part of this learning experience, to utilize the resources available in JA Connect® Learning Pathways, located at connect.ja.org. This self-guided experience includes Work and Career Readiness interactives, JA Here to Career™, and games and apps for student use. This resource will enhance and extend JA Career Success to help students develop the skills needed to compete in today's job market.
JA Learning Experiences support national and state standards in reading, mathematics, social studies, work and career readiness. Please see below for more information on alignment with national and state standards.
