If you’ve been to a Getting Smart keynote/event over the last 5 years, you’ve likely heard us mention Cajon Valley Union School District. This district is best in class at making young people aware of the many job opportunities in their communities and creating powerful pathways/partnerships to help map these students to a future that works for them. This program starts in elementary school.
To create this program, the district selected a job framework created by John Holland sixty years ago. Popularly known by the acronym RISEC (for realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising and conventional), it is a set of assessments that help young people become aware of their unique strengths, interests, and values.
To achieve this, Cajon Valley learners move through four World of Work experiences: exploration, simulation, meet a pro, and practice.
Before World of Work we just had basic stuff. Now I have an idea of who I want to be. I want to be an entrepreneur and use my social skills to work with people.
Stewart, Cajon Valley fourth grader.
