Eldorado Snack Shack
Postsecondary Opportunities for Students in Transition (POST)
Eldorado High School, NV
Mr. Petty's class plays a pivotal role in running their school's Snack Shack. Proceeds from their Snack Shack help fund opportunities for all students on campus. While students have been unable to run the store this year, they are creating a website to promote this business for re-opening in the fall.
PHASE 1: Planning
In Phase 1, students go through the process of identifying their project idea, understanding work routines, such as daily Stand Up meetings, and applying for the job role they will have throughout their first Work Simulation. All of this sets the stage for their work in Phase 2, Getting To Work!
PHASE 2: Starting Work
In Phase 2, students are brainstorming possible barriers and collaborating to find solutions in their new roles. Each student completes their individual job training, equipped with new skills while participating in on-going performance reviews. All of this experience drives their work in Phase 3, Demo Day.
PHASE 3: Demo Day!
In Phase 3, students prepare for and deliver work product demos. Each student showcases their individual contributions to the final project, while creating an opportunity to reflect on problem solving and the collaborative process. With new talking points, it's time to showcase skills during employer interviews in Phase 4.
PHASE 4: Interviewing
Phase 4 includes preparing professional assets such as resumes and portfolios. These are updated to include the most recent experience gained during the Digitability Work Simulation. Using these new assets, interview skills are practiced and honed in preparation for potential employers.
