Pop-up Job Sampling
July 29 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Job sampling involves going to different businesses and learning about them from the people that work there.
We are pleased to host a “Pop-up” job sampling session at The Sinneave Family Foundation, where attendees will have the opportunity to role-play different job-related scenarios.
In this fun and engaging session, participants will have the opportunity to put into practice their skills in different customer service areas and roles, such as:
- Retail (Grocery store) Try both cashier and grocery clerk roles
- Food service (Coffee shop) Try cashier, server, and host roles
- Call Centre Practice outgoing sales calls and incoming customer support calls
Attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Practice social skills,
- Reflect on your needs in an employment setting,
- Practice self-advocacy for accessing supports in the workplaces, and
- Learn about the responsibilities of various customer service roles.
Our goal is that participants leave the session feeling empowered to continue on your journey of employment readiness, career exploration, and skill development.
Please note: This activity will be facilitated by volunteers who are former and current EmploymentWorks (EW) participants, with EW staff overseeing the activity and supporting the volunteers.
Volunteers will be given the opportunity to practice their skills in workplace communication, workplace interactions and leadership by coaching participants, managing stations and providing general support.
