工业旅游

Industry tours are typically 60-90 minute experiences that include a 工作place tour and intentional career conversations with a variety of professionals.  

行业参观为学生提供了许多好处，包括:
 

1. Provides career exposure to students, broadening their ideas of what is possible. Not all students have the opportunity or support to explore careers through family outings, 夏令营或课外活动. 工业旅游, 学校协调, gives ALL students the opportunity to have their minds opened to new ideas and potential careers.
2. Provides valuable insights into the real 工作ing environment of an industry. 学生 often have limited understanding of what really happens at 工作places around their community. They access their career information through parents, friends and media. Media sources often offer glamorized views of careers, including incomplete or misinformation. This contributes to perpetuating myths about some industries or occupations. Industry tours provide the opportunity to get accurate information directly from the employers, 帮助学生做出选择 
3. 加深他们对需求的理解, 奖励, and challenges of a chosen career Hearing directly from professionals in their 工作places provides students the opportunity to learn about the positives and negatives of a career. This allows students to discern their own “fit” and helps them make the important decisions needed for their future. Hearing a professional talk about their own success stories, 或者是需要坚持不懈的例子, 能产生很大的影响吗.
4. Provides valuable information directly from employers about what they are looking for in their future talent What can be better than having an employer tell you exactly what they are looking for in their future employees, 以及实现目标所需要的步骤? These conversations often reinforce the skills that schools are teaching, 尤其是涉及到批判性思维的时候, 灵活性, 沟通与团队合作. 经常, 雇主会分享具体的技能, 级分, 或者他们希望学生追求的经历类型, 让他们成为有吸引力的候选人. 
5. 帮助学生理解学校之间的联系, 工作, 以及他们未来的目标, prepared employers will help make connections for students into the “why” they are in school, 以及它如何与工作世界联系起来. 工业之旅的这一成果可能是最有价值的, 因为它为学生创造了相关性, resulting in higher motivation to persevere through their K-12 education.
6. Assists in developing student’s professional communication skills Teachers and parents can teach and model good communication skills, but when students interact with professionals in the 工作place, 它似乎产生了更大的影响. 看到团队合作, 公众演讲, 或者是一个写报告的例子, helps young people see the importance of the skills they are learning. Being able to practice hand shakes, eye contact, and other net工作ing skills is also invaluable. 
7. Meets the state requirements for 工作place learning experiences The State of Michigan wants students to be college and career ready. They have implemented requirements for all students to have 工作 based learning experiences like job shadows, 参观和实习.  Taking students out to local businesses for the valuable tours and career conversations meets these requirements.
8. Helps students see their future place in the world of 工作 学生 love meeting adults in the 工作place. 这让他们对自己的未来有了一种感觉. They hear examples of how adults moved from high school to their career, 这有助于学生开始规划自己的道路. 工业旅游 make a big difference in the career development journey for students by helping them visualize their own futures
