Lisbon - Jobs For Maine’s Graduates (JMG) Lisbon Program traveled to the Augusta Civic Center on Wednesday, April 29th for the 2015 Career Development Conference. The Career Development Conference or CDC, is an annual JMG event where juniors and seniors across the state gather to work on career development skills, compete against their peers and attend workshops which focus on professionalism and their future aspirations.

 

Lisbon High School’s JMG classes spent months preparing for this conference. LHS chose the theme of Scooby Doo and the Mystery Machine centered around the idea that “Life is a mystery, find the clues to solve it.”

 

Seniors Taylor Martin, Victoria Swan, Destiny Pagan, and JD Martin and juniors Alyssa Finlay, Katherin George, and Olivia Leduc attended the conference. Students participated in numerous activities at CDC. One of the activities included Leduc participating in the Public Speaking session where she explained her JMG experience and how it has helped her grow. Swan and Martin participated in the Marketplace Presentation where our JMG class had created a unique booth of the Mystery Machine and a life size Scooby Doo. The exhibit featured the JMG goals and the ongoing activities and experiences such as  community service, job attainment and budgeting. Martin participated in the Interview skills participating in a mock interview with students from Thomas College. Pagan, Leduc, and Martin participated in the Pitch-It presentation.  Students had to “pitch” the concept of JMG to a panel of judges and explain why JMG would be good for their school. Martin and Leduc participated in the workshop “Burning a Hole in Your Pocket”.   Students learned how to budget their money towards a fixed amount. Lastly, George and Pagan participated in the Group Challenge where they worked on a team-building activity.

 

At CDC, when students didn’t have a scheduled activity, there were other opportunities they could take advantage of. One was the Networking room where students could go and meet other students from different schools and discuss their interests and aspirations. Another resource was the Career and College Expo where different booths represented by colleges and companies presented their organizations .

 

Lisbon High School received two first place honors at CDC this year. LHS won the Facebook cover photo competition where they had to create a photo cover that showed what they do in JMG, winning a $100 check to go towards their JMG Career Association. LHS also won the Golden Tab Award for collecting the most aluminum pop tabs, 99 pounds, benefiting the Ronald McDonald Foundation.  Lisbon JMG students are thankful to all the Lisbon volunteers who graciously collected and donated pop tabs for this great cause.
