The Job Retention Skills Facilitator Guide is a collection of step-by-step instructions for teaching 30 employment skills activities (585 minutes) to groups of youth and adults.
There are jobs and there are careers. A job should be a rung on the ladder to a specific career instead of just a way to earn subsistence. Working toward a career gives you a positive, hopeful outlook. It is like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey to keep him going-he keeps running to catch the carrot and hopes to eventually get it. Your carrot is the hope of having established a career by the time you reach the top of the ladder. You do many different jobs on the way up, each one increasing in skill and responsibility.
