The purpose of this assignment is to explore career paths in the Social Service field.  The job announcements will expose you to the vocabulary of the industry, point out education and experience requirements, and give you an idea concerning salary offerings.  From these job announcements many students have set up informational interviews, found internships, and jobs.  The announcements can be for your dream job or what you hope for within the next few months or years.

The document you will submit for 20 points is a list of jobs you found, their locations, education and experience requirements.  Type out a list.

At the end of the 20 job announcements, they followed up with a few paragraphs of what they found. I only included the first paragraph and “x” out the information.
