In JA Career Speaker Series®, a volunteer guest speaker visits the classroom and shares information about their career, work, and education experience. The speaker may bring props, work samples, or other visuals to help engage students.
Following participation in the learning experience, students will be able to:
-- Identify skills and interests.
-- Recognize career clusters.
-- Practice active listening skills.
JA Career Speaker Series is part of the JA Work and Career Readiness Pathway and can be placed in grades K-12. The learning experience is available in classroom based, remote synchronous, recorded video, or after-school/out-of-school Implementation. Activities and implementation design vary based on grade level.
JA teachers and volunteers are encouraged, as part of this learning experience, to utilize the resources available in JA Connect®, located at connect.ja.org. This self-guided experience includes interactives, JA Here to Career, and apps for student use.
JA Learning Experiences support national and state standards in reading, mathematics, social studies, and work and career readiness. See below for more information on alignment with national and state standards.
