This week at the Kent Transition Center, the students received USB Drives and pocket folios so they could take their work documents with them when they leave KTC. These drives have been given out every year so that the students still have their resumes, thank you letters, and cover letters with them as well as any other document they have completed in their time here.
The students were taught how to download documents from their Google Drive, save them to their USB drives, and how to eject them properly. They were then to print out two copies of their resume and put it in the folder so that they would be prepared to drop them off to business if they saw a job they were interested in. Lastly, the students were given a document that can be folded and inserted into their wallet that they could put all of the information on so they could complete a resume at a moment's notice. Thanks to my old "lab partner", Sharon Jett, for making these--we still are using them today!
Our goal is to have our students not only complete these assignments but also to show them the value of being prepared, organized, and that what we have taught them can be used outside of our walls. If there are any LEA's, counselors, or SPED teachers reading this, please make sure that your students update their qualifications, please help them look over their resumes to make changes, update their work histories, or even update their references; they all have a drive unless they were absent or if they lost it. Thank you!
