OKM Careers - 30 Hour Exploration:
You need 30 exploration hours between grade 10-12 to graduate. It is your responsibility to track those hours. Create a folder called '30 Hour Exploration' in your google drive. Keep track of the following in your folder:
Take pictures of all of your 30 Hour Exploration sheets and reflections
Make a copy of the 30 Hour Exploration log to track your hours
Your Careers 11/12 teacher will assess the content of this folder, but start tracking your hours now!
TIPS:
For each volunteer opportunity, complete BOTH the paper copy reflection AND the digital tracking spreadsheet.
Career spotlights/guest speakers in your classes count for hours too!
Don't forget to complete the reflection aspect of your tracking while it is still fresh in your brain!
