Lesson Plan
Outdoor Job Quest Plan
Students will learn and practice each step of applying for outdoor, hands-on jobs—including drafting a resume and cover letter, interviewing, and game-based review—to increase independence and confidence in the job search process.
Many anxious learners avoid applying for jobs without support. This lesson breaks down the process into manageable steps, provides templates and practice, and uses positive reinforcement to build confidence.
