Engaging Lesson Introduction: The World of Employment

Hook: "A Day in Your Future"

Scenario Setup

Imagine waking up on a weekday morning. Your alarm goes off at 7:00 AM, and you roll out of bed, excited to head off to a job you truly love. You put on your favourite outfit, grab a quick breakfast, and step outside into the world of employment.

Question for Reflection:

• What does your ideal job look like?
• What skills do you think you need for that job?

Activity: Create Your Ideal Job Profile

1. Visualisation: Close your eyes for a moment and imagine the details of your day at work. Think about:

   • The environment (office, outdoors, home office, etc.)
   • The people you work with
   • What you do daily

2. Profile Creation: Open your eyes and take out a piece of paper. On one side, draw or write down the following:

   • Job Title
   • Key Responsibilities
   • Required Skills
   • Working Environment

3. Small Group Discussion: Once you've completed your job profile, partner up with a classmate and share your ideas. Discuss:

   • How the skills you've listed could be developed while still in school.
   • Why specific jobs appeal to you and how those jobs help society.
