If everyone take a step back and think about it, the whole premise behind the 1-week work experience program is not necessarily about the actual job-related activities or to learn about the industry itself.
It's the journey that matters, here are the life skills that's meant to be developed:
1. Resume-writing: The child learns to reflect and conduct self-evaluations to benchmark their own achievements against an industry or a job description. This facilitates the development of a more realistic perspective of reality, as compared to the successful facades reported in both mainstream and social media.
2. Taking initiative: The child learns that not everyone is courteous in reality. Most employers don't care about whether you have the right attitude at the beginning, but rather, what value do you bring to the establishment. This also provides a valuable experience to the child, where he/she learns that their feelings are usually not the deterministic factor in how others evaluate you. Therefore rejections is usually more valuable than acceptances.
3.Interviews: The child will learn how to think on the spot. How to plan out and simulate professional conversations as part of their preparations. This again lays the foundations for developing rapid critical thinking and reflexes that is usually required in most careers.
4.The actual job: Some parents and children complain about how boring a 'job' could be. But that's the point. How many of us have walked into a job and felt like we could change the world? Our next generation needs to understand that they need to start low and that meaningful work is not going to be given to them on a silver platter just because they want it. They need to take the initiative to demonstrate their determination and passion for something more meaningful and grasp those opportunities when they come. Sadly that doesn't always happen, and this is a reality check all budding young adults should face.
I'm sure most parents are already aware of this, but it's important for us to passively allow our children to develop this awareness, rather than us preaching it to them. |
