Eagle Express
Edison Township High School
Edison, NJ
High School Vocational Class
Students will take part in updating the Vocational Workshop website, The Eagle Express, which houses the items that they create, the jobs and services they offer around the building, and fundraisers that they run. Students roles are supervisor, tech support, and merchandising. Students work on their social skills and workplace skills that they learn throughout the year through Digitability’s Comprehensive curriculum, including problem solving, money skills, following directions accurately, plus much more. Students are also encouraged to share their ideas about how to improve the website and what items they can create for upcoming projects.
About the Digitability Work Simulation Program
Digitability believes that skills are best learned through real-world experience and application. That’s why Digitability created the Work Simulation Program: a complete curriculum that teaches work-ready skills in a hands-on way you won’t find anywhere else.
After choosing their classroom’s Work Simulation project, students are “hired” for jobs and begin practicing workplace behavior, managing tasks, using tech skills for independence, self-advocating, self-regulating and more.
Digitability Work Simulations include Bankability, a virtual banking and workplace behavior program where students earn virtual dollars when they exhibit behaviors that will make them successful in the workplace and increase their independence. Using those dollars earned, students experience a modern banking app while learning the fundamentals of budgeting concepts such as earning, spending, and saving.
