After high school, many students have different opportunities and options they can choose from for their career path and for their future. Many students struggle with choosing careers and aren’t prepared after high school. Having extra classes that can expand certain home skill classes or classes that can go more in-depth with career options or college majors would be a great option for a class at Park.
One class that Park should provide is a cooking class that shows the essential needs for cooking and would help students in the future with their own home life. It would show students how to properly shop for food and prepare food as well as shoring proper cooking techniques for a simple meal for each breakfast, lunch and dinner. Having some basic knowledge of mixing ingredients and even seasoning for meals could improve students’ home life after high school. Additionally, cooking classes can spark creativity. By incorporating cooking into Park’s curriculum, Park can help students develop a well-rounded skill set that promotes overall well-being and success in their personal and professional lives.
Having a class that can prepare you for future job interviews would be a great learning area for students at Park. It would help to practice writing resumes and creating personal profiles for yourself for future job interviews and work opportunities. Interviewing effectively is not just about answering questions but also about presenting oneself confidently. An interviewing prep class can teach students how to research potential employers, craft compelling resumes and cover letters and practice common interviewing questions. Additionally, it can help students develop skills such as communication, critical thinking and problem-solving. By offering this class, schools can better prepare students for the competitive job market, increasing their chances of securing employment and achieving their career goals.
Park should introduce a class that introduces students to a wide variety of classes colleges offer. Introducing this class to students at Park can help students better prepare for their future. Choosing a path for their future career makes it easier than choosing last minute before you go to school. By exposing students to various fields of study and career opportunities, they can better understand their interests, strengths and potential career trajectories. This can reduce the likelihood of students switching majors in college, which saves time and money. Additionally, this helps students align classes with future goals in college. Offering a college major exploration option empowers students to take charge of their educational journeys and fosters a sense of purpose and direction.
Having a class that teaches students about organization and cleaning would be a great class for students. An organized environment enhances productivity, reduces stress and creates a more conducive space for learning and creativity. By learning effective organization techniques, students can better manage their time, prioritize tasks and maintain a clutter-free workspace. Cleaning skills are equally important, as they promote hygiene, responsibility and a sense of pride in one’s surroundings. Overall, a class focused on organization and cleaning would provide students with practical tools to improve their quality of life and efficiency.
