Your students can’t get a job without experience and they can’t get experience without a job. At the OC Career Cafe students can find ways around this catch-22. In Get Experience, students will explore the different means they can use to gain workplace skills. Whether they want an internship, apprenticeship, volunteer experience or choose to connect to a professional association, students learn how to gather experiences that will give them a competitive advantage when they start handing out their resumes. This quick and easy lesson will show your students the way to CACareerCafe.
