JCCC:
JUDGES NEEDED FOR JOB OLYMPICS
Help support students in Johnson County school districts by serving as a judge in the 14th Annual Job Olympics, to be held Wednesday, April 8, at Johnson County Community College.
Job Olympics is a competition developed to promote transition and employability skills for a broad spectrum of high school students in special education. More than 300 students are expected to participate in Job Olympics this year.
Competitions representing actual job and employment situations are judged by business people from the community and professionals in education.
Individual judging and written feedback is provided to each student. This allows the teacher and students to assess students’ strengths and areas of weakness.
An awards ceremony follows the competition with ribbons, medals and trophies awarded. The schedule for the day will be:
7:45 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. Judges check in
8:00 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. Judges’ orientation
8:15 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Competition
10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. General Assembly
11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Lunch
12:15 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Awards Assembly
Judges are asked to commit to the competition time only, from 7:45 to 10:30 a.m., though judges are welcome to stay for a complimentary lunch and the awards ceremony.
Deadline to sign up to serve as a judge is Monday, March 2. Please contact Kathy Kennedy at ext. 3247 or kathrynk@jccc.edu to sign up or for more information.
