This is a project that a JAG class could use to find ways to accept clothing donations of professional clothing for JAG students and other low income students within the school.

Students will be able to do the following:
Identify several professions in the healthcare field, identify characteristics of effective healthcare providers, and consider if any of the occupations covered in class are appropriate paths for them.

This lesson will include the following: acquiring, completing, and submitting a job application, preparing for and participating in a job interview, completing a career interest inventory, and creating a career vision portfolio. Students will learn the skills needed to apply for and obtain a job, and will explore their career interests to ensure they can envision a future career path. The benefit to this project is building passion in students for their future careers, and ensuring they are aware of the path needed to get there.

Students will be introduced to the JAG goals and standards and encouraged to treat their education like their job. They will learn about classroom and employer expectations, filling out applications, requesting letters of reference, and taking part in a 30-day review. It is encouraged for specialists to use this project at the beginning of the school year.

The purpose of this PBL is to get to know our students and understand what they are dealing with and have dealt with in life before JAG. This will be a great way for everyone to learn about student�s successes and their barriers. Students will be able to share things that are positive about themselves in a creative way. They will design a personalized license plate made from poster board cut out to the actually size of a real license plate. Students will only get one plate, which will require them to take ownership of their plate and not lose it. The requirements for the plate are as follows: the plate state will be the state the students were born in, positive quote that represents the student�s family; one goal that the student has; two personal strengths; one dream career/ or dream; 2 hobbies or interests and one barrier they have overcome or currently working on. This plate represents how great these students are. The students will present these plates to our community members and get feedback.

Students will learn about civic leadership and the careers in their communities. Students will highlight a local position/ career by interviewing and taking video of a local leader. Video will be highlighting the leader�s first job, favorite aspects about their career, what hard and soft skills they use daily, and how they feel their job makes an impact within their community.
What challenges will they face?
Transportation/ time management to take the video in the space of the professional if plausible.
What is the purpose? To connect students with local leadership and various positions that make a positive impact on their communities. To be aware of the local job opportunities within their communities.

Students will create a portfolio that can allow them to show off all of their skills and accomplishments that make them employable. They will compile a binder with all of their documents to present when they are going through an interview process. Students will also have an opportunity to participate in a mock interview. They will then be able to get in groups and create a multimedia presentation of a top 10 list of do�s and don�ts of resume writing, cover letters, filling out an application, professional dress attire, etc.

The students will be planning and implementing a Veterans Day Breakfast & Ceremony to be held on a school day prior to the Veterans Day Observance.

Purpose-The purpose of this event is to provide free breakfast and student-led ceremony to show our local veterans and their family members the utmost respect they deserve for their sacrifice and service.

Students will research a career of interest using online and �live� resources (e.g. job shadow, informational interview) and reflect on it to determine if that career is a fit for them based on their interests, skills/abilities, aptitudes, and personality. Through this project, students will complete the Holland Code Interest Inventory, Myers-Briggs, utilize online resources (e.g O-Net, Occupational Outlook Handbook, Career One Stop), and complete a job shadow and/or multiple informational interviews.Students will also explore one career cluster using the career map packets developed by JMG.
