I happened to see a junior high school student working at the super market as a challenge of the 14-year-old youth.
A boy cheerfully said to me, "irasshaimase" and gave me a basket with a cart.
I was very impressed with his good manner and service so I gave him smile back and said " thank you".
I remember my two kids were also working in the kindergarten or at the bookstore.
It was their first experience to work in the society and among the adults.
I hope such small training at the work place will work well with the 14-year-old juveniles.
"The challenge of 14-year-old" is a abbreviated designation of the workplace experience learning project that carried out for junior high school sophomore 14-year-old in Toyama Prefecture.
返信削除It's Toyama Prefecture its own initiatives and started from 1999.
I also saw their existence in nursery where a granddaughter goes and neighboring super shop.
I think that such various kind of experiences are very useful for them.
It's so nice to have such occasions for them during school year.
削除When I was working, junior high school students of "challenge of 14-year-old " had came to the workolace.
返信削除I remembered that their brightness was contagious and hospitalized patients had became smile.
I hope that it's one of the opportunity to know the various way of life.
By the way,
Today it became rain in earnest.
Wednesday night go to tennis. So, I want sunny in the afternoon!
Oh...you treated the youth internship and saw their good jobs.
削除It's really a good chance for the youth to learn how important it is to work with people and to give pleasure.
