Student AWAL
Develop 10 questions to gather information about the use of all Essential Skills. Consider all Essential Skills in your questions. In addition, ask both the employee and the volunteer to reflect on how school helps prepare students for future employment. This is a sample format. Make up your own sheets based on this sample. Make two (2) interview sheets – one for the employee interview and one for the volunteer interview.

Question #1:
As a volunteer, do you use computers?
If so, what do you use them for? If not, why not?
Answer #1:
In my role as a volunteer I do use computers. I am required to capture all information on new
volunteers when they register with us. As well, once they have registered, I keep track of what
types of things they do in their volunteer role. With high school students, we also keep track of
the amount of time students volunteer so we can complete the high school volunteer tracking
sheet for their guidance department.
