Description: The Get in the Act! Take I PowerPoint was designed to introduce educators and volunteers to this National 4-H curriculum. Get in the Act! is different from many traditional career planning tools that focus on job applications, resumes and interviewing. Get in the Act! activities help middle school youth look at personal qualities, teamwork and critical thinking skills as they prepare for the world of work. The curriculum includes a CD with two parts: "Exploring Your True Colors" helps young people learn their personality type to identify potential job areas for consideration. "On the Job Choices" illustrates common youth workplace challenges.
