Your Road Trip – Destination Employment
“Your Road Trip – Destination Employment,” An Online Course for
Non-College Bound Adults who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Project Endeavor was created when in July of 2010 the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration announced
Communications Services for the Deaf (CSD) was awarded a multi-million
dollar grant to make discounted high-speed Internet/broadband
accessible to the nation’s deaf and hard of hearing population.
This online course targets non-college bound deaf and hard of hearing
adults, who are either looking for their first job or thinking about
changing their current employment situation. The interactive, Web 2.0
course focuses on three main components of a career search:
* Getting Started (helps the consumer decide if they are ready to work
and how working will affect income;)
* Working at Getting a Job (how to conduct a job search, complete job
applications, write a resume, dress for an interview and interview
tips, and your communication needs;) and
* Success on the Job (what to do on your first day on the job and how
to problem solve.)
* The unique aspect of the training resource is that each quiz and
module is accompanied with an ASL video, meaning students can access
100 percent of the information in ASL instead of having to read text,
which is how nearly all online training resources are developed. You
can find the online course at http://www.projectendeavor.com/. Just
click on the graphic that reads “Your Road Trip – Destination
Employment,” sign up, and begin training.
