Part Two: 9 Essential Skills Challenge Activities

(10 Minutes Each)

The activities students will engage in are based on the nine Essential Skills for work. There must be ONE ACTIVITY for each Essential Skill. They should be simple and brief.

When you are using computers for the “Computer Use” challenge, contact your host teacher to determine facility resources. Activities that involve athletic ability should keep in mind safety at all times. Each activity
must have a detailed activity sheet completed for it. (see Activity Worksheet)
