Why Employment Matters


Lesson Benchmark

Explore why employment matters to the student.

Note to those providing this service:

These activities are developed in a way that allows the learner to gradually build upon their skills. Each student has different foundational skills so some students may need more support or instruction than others. With that being said, you can choose what activity you start with based on the learner’s strengths and needs.

Extended Pathways

Students who are interested or enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) or postsecondary, regardless of disability (remember to presume competence!), may or may not need some of the information that seems introductory in nature. Take as much or little time as needed based on student knowledge. More specific activities related to CTE and postsecondary are identified as extended activities and pathways.
