Workforce Prep Day at Ohio State Fair
Ohio State Fair
Workforce Prep Day
Ohio 4-H offers a competitive event at the Ohio State Fair to showcase the workforce preparation knowledge and skills that youth have gained through participation in 4-H.
Participants:
Must have completed the Teen Leadership on the Job or Get In The Act! project book OR have participated in a 4-H workforce preparation program (camp counselors, CARTEENS, junior fair board, leadership projects, etc.)
- • Prepare a display that conveys what the participant learned
- • Discuss their exhibits with the judges
- • Complete a mock interview as if applying for a job as a day camp counselor
Judges evaluate participants on the following basis:
- • Overall appearance and performance
- • Knowledge, skill, and understanding related to the project
- • Communication skills
- • Quality of their exhibit
- • Mock interview performance
- • Quality and appropriateness of responses
Included here you will find information to assist you in advertising and selecting 4-H members to represent your county during Workforce Preparation Day at the Ohio State Fair.
- • You can send as many 4-H members to the state fair as you would like (you don’t have to limit it to 2).
- • 4-H’ers get to select a job to interview for instead of being required to interview for one position.
- • 4-H’ers can directly register for the event (or you can encourage them to register)
