A 20-year-old Mexican boy studying information technology as a technician needs guidance on defining his career goals and finding job opportunities after graduating in one year. He enjoys programming but has not determined where he wants to work, only that he does not want to work in a factory like his parents. He feels stressed about job interviews and thinks internships can help prepare for jobs, but he has not actively searched for career-related jobs or defined his career vision. Design thinking coaching could help the student clarify his goals and plans for after graduation.

Ash recently graduated from an illustration school but is struggling to find work that suits his skills in the industry. He completed some freelance projects without contracts and had difficulty getting paid. While he was trained as an illustrator, most job opportunities are in graphic design. Ash hopes his current company will recognize his potential, but he finds the work assignments meaningless. He worries about how to stay motivated and continue growing his skills in a way that matches industry needs. Based on his experiences, Ash would benefit from improving his portfolio, gaining more industry knowledge, and considering collaborative opportunities to boost his confidence and chances of career success.
Creativity, innovation & design week 5 all about innovation
The document provides information about an innovation and design course. It includes details about course content and activities for different weeks. Some of the key topics covered are creativity in organizations, design thinking, and using design thinking to solve problems. Students are asked to complete a mind mapping activity, discuss case studies, and work through design thinking steps to address a problem presented by a student named Sally. Guidelines are also provided for an argumentative essay assignment, including the structure, sources to use, and referencing style.
Design and empathy
The stakeholder is an Indian man who completed his undergraduate degree in India, worked for two years, then obtained his master's degree in the US. He discusses the differences between transitioning from studies to work in India versus the US. In India, the process involves written tests and interviews, while in the US it focuses only on technical interviews. He notes education in India is more theory-based, while the US system is both theoretical and practical, better preparing him for his new job. The transition to work is difficult for new graduates in both countries as expectations are hard to understand. Schools need to improve preparing students for interviews and familiarizing them with work life.
Prototype and test
A 23-year old shy girl needs help gaining confidence in communication for job opportunities. Two ideas were prototyped: practicing conversations with friends and thinking strategically. Practicing with friends through role-playing was effective feedback, but being smart may not guarantee better communication. Further testing is needed to modify the ideas and address nervousness, as real-life interactions differ from ideas. Continued prototyping is required to reach an applicable solution.
"Connecting" Teachers and Learners Through SMART Lessons
Meghan Arsenault created an interactive Connect Four lesson on the SMART Board to engage students and review geometry content. The lesson divides students into two teams who take turns placing game pieces on the board after answering review questions correctly. Unanswered questions are given to students to research with their groups. This game format keeps students engaged while having fun reviewing for a test in a collaborative way.

Look at chewing gum in a new way
The document discusses the problem of chewing gum being stuck to pavements, streets, and seats in public places. It notes that a study in 2000 found over a quarter million pieces of gum stuck to Oxford Street in London. The Mayor of London called the gum debris an "unsightly stain" and a drain on taxpayer money to remove. Common solutions to the gum problem include recycling attempts. The document then describes how a wall in Seattle became covered in thousands of pieces of gum over the years, and cleaning attempts failed, causing the gum wall to become a tourist attraction. It suggests reframing such gum walls as art festivals instead of problems.
Textual analysis
The document provides textual analysis of several album covers and advertisements, discussing various visual elements and how they relate to the genre of music and themes of the albums. Key elements analyzed across the examples include use of color, imagery, composition, text formatting and placement, and how these adhere to conventions or suggest meanings like rebellious attitudes, mystery, or changing reputation. The analyses suggest the covers effectively represent the music and attract audiences through symbolic visual storytelling.

Jerry is a software project manager at a traditional institution. He feels that students are not adequately prepared for the real world work environment when they graduate. Students' resumes often lack relevant work experience, making them unlikely candidates for full-time positions. Jerry also thinks that schools do not sufficiently teach students real-world skills like how to interview, work as part of a team, and understand the long-term aspects of a project. This presents a challenge for Jerry in finding qualified candidates to hire.

The document discusses how mathematics instruction has changed to meet the demands of the 21st century. It notes that the skills required for jobs are changing due to factors like automation, globalization, and demographic shifts. Modern instruction focuses on developing skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and collaboration through practices like modeling, representing ideas in multiple ways, and constructing viable arguments. It emphasizes conceptual understanding over solely memorizing procedures. The goal is to prepare students for a world where many future jobs have not yet been invented.

Frame the problem empathize and define
The document discusses concerns that a student has about their education and preparation for the workforce. The student feels their education focuses too narrowly and lacks practical experience. This leaves them anxious about being able to fulfill job requirements and adapt to work. They want education to consider other theories, include more hands-on labor practices, and generate better links between school and work to ensure students are well prepared. The insights identify that the education system seems outdated and students need new teaching methods.
Prototyping & testing
The document discusses two ideas for helping students choose careers:
1) Having career guides/counselors give students perspectives on work-life balance and making informed career choices based on goals and aspirations. This helped one student, Mary, achieve clarity and a better job match.
2) Allowing students to try simulated jobs during school to experience different work environments and help decide on satisfying careers. This gave Mary relevant work experience and helped her employer find a qualified candidate.
Prototyping and testing these ideas led to continuous ideation and cross-fertilization of ideas with stakeholder input. The fast feedback loop was an effective way to address the complex problem of career guidance.

The document discusses redesigning the school-to-work transition. It provides an empathy map from the perspective of a high school teacher who finds the traditional view of preparing all students for university is problematic. The teacher feels the school focuses too much on tests and academics and does not teach skills needed for the real world like critical thinking. Additionally, the school prepares students only for academic paths and does nothing for career paths like trades. The document concludes with a problem statement that the teacher needs a way to improve assessments in high schools to measure more than just academics and to better prepare students for an evolving world and identify their strengths beyond the current curriculum.

How might we enhance learning experiences in b-schools?
The document summarizes interviews with business students on their educational experiences and career goals. Key findings include:
1) Students found project-based work to be the most impactful learning activity but it is underutilized. Lectures focus too much on memorizing facts rather than practical application.
2) Experiential learning through client projects, simulations, and competitions are ideal for applying knowledge.
3) Students see design and design thinking as applicable to all business problems and a way to discover innovative solutions. However, they need more opportunities to translate ideas into tangible solutions.
4) Students' career goals focus more on creating meaningful impact and change rather than job titles. However, many currently lack confidence in their
How to change attitudes by jde s
This document discusses how to change employee attitudes through constructive feedback rather than dismissal. It describes how the author's teacher was able to positively change his attitude in school. The teacher pulled him aside and told him he had leadership potential but was negatively influencing others. He suggested the author stay quiet during homework assignments to set a good example. This simple advice transformed the author's attitude and performance in school. The key lessons are to focus feedback on observable behaviors, not attitudes, and provide a clear positive direction for improvement rather than just criticism. The approach worked because the teacher believed in the student's potential and gave specific guidance on changing his behavior.

Aaron, a 21 year old recent business graduate, has been struggling to find a full-time job after graduating. He has been feeling down, embarrassed, and worried that he hasn't found a job yet like many of his friends. However, after attending a networking event, he realized the benefits of networking. Networking helped him grow professionally and personally, learn about different industries and jobs, and led to job interviews. He now sees that networking is more helpful than the university's career services and articles. Going forward, he plans to improve his networking skills by connecting with others in his field and learning from their experiences to enhance his job search.
