ROLE TITLE: Director, FutureShock! Facilitator (Temporary: April 2024 - August 2024) POSITION REPORTS TO: Senior Managing Director, Research + Design LOCATION: Los Angeles RATE: $21 - $32 per hour ABOUT THE PROGRAM FutureShock! is a ten-day experience where high schoolers explore career interests through hands-on projects with others.
Career exploration is challenging, irrespective of age.
It’s especially tough for high schoolers right now.
Most young people are not sure what they want to do after graduating high school.
Many have only limited exposure to the range of possibilities they could pursue after graduating.
They’re increasingly skeptical of traditional higher ed options, and alternative paths are unclear.
Moreover, most high schoolers lack the underlying skills needed to explore career and post-secondary options.
This includes skills for self-direction; reflecting on one’s interests; and translating one’s interests into concrete projects.
Existing solutions during the academic year (e.
g.
college and career counseling) are too shallow and often too focused on identifying a singular career path.
And most existing programs focus on reflection, with little support connecting this to actual projects.
The best version of career exploration supports students in moving between reflection, hands-on-experiences, and relationship building with others.
We believe that building your future is more than just about finding a job.
The starting point does not have a single trajectory; it involves developing different skills over time and combining them in different ways.
FutureShock! is designed to enable students to work on cool projects and find people to support and challenge them, all while making sense of how what they’re learning and doing might set them up for the future.
By the end of the program, we hope they’ll be able to say “I practiced connecting my strengths and interests in unique ways to find challenging opportunities that I’m motivated to do in the future.
