Congratulations to Ste. Genevieve High School student Evan Coin, who recently participated in the Southeast Missouri Job Olympics and earned multiple medals in various competitions!
Job Olympics is a competition developed to promote transition and employability skills for a broad spectrum of high school students in special education from different schools throughout the region. Competitions representing real-world job and employment situations are judged by community members, business owners and professionals in education.
Throughout the day, students compete in events such as table-setting, sorting laundry, custodial skills, folding towels, hanging clothes, sorting mail, and much more. The goal of these events is to engage students in a wide variety of job skills that play to their strengths.
Evan earned a silver medal in both Job Interview and Job Applications. In the Job Interview category, he answered a series of job-related questions, and in the Job Applications category, he completed an online job application. Evan earned a Bronze medal in Job Skills, where he had to precisely hang 10 clothing items. Congratulations to Evan on his performance; we are incredibly proud of him!
