For your final, you will submit a Power Point presentation. You will only submit your Power Point. You will not be presenting it during class time.
Follow the steps below to complete this assignment: (25 points) Due May 19th
1. Choose an occupation field to research. You can use your own occupation field or choose a different one that you are interested in learning more about.
2. Once you have chosen the occupation field, find a minimum of 5 academic/peer reviewed articles that talk about how things like gender, gender identity, gender expression, disability/different-ability, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, legal status, language, education, socioeconomic status, etc. impacts employees/potential employees within this field.
Use these articles to identify how these areas impact employee satisfaction, employment rates, mental health, social stereotypes, wage differences, employer attitudes/biases, etc. Include any important information highlighted in these articles.
3. Ask yourself: how does the information you found impact vocational development? In other words, talk about how YOU believe the information you found has an effect on how people are encouraged from birth to choose a certain occupation. You can include your own vocational development or the vocational development of someone you know in order to support your ideas. Dedicate at least 1 slide to answer this question.
4. Organize all of your information on slides. Feel free to include any graphics, special effects, or videos that you see fit or feel would complement your presentation. Not including your title slide and your references slide, your presentation should be a minimum of 6 slides. Include enough information in each one of your slides so that your presentation can stand alone without needing to be presented by you.
