Work readiness · Role-play · 35 min
The first two weeks
Asking for help without looking lost, taking a correction, and finding out what 'done' means here. The skills that decide whether a first job lasts.
Target level: Proficient — Has functional knowledge of the skill and can apply it properly in specific on-the-job settings.
Why this design
Play the interaction live with a partner, then swap and run it again. Interaction-heavy skills — customer service, escalation, difficult news, handoffs.
What this evidences
- communication×1 at Proficient
- mindfulness×0.6 at Proficient
By the end, the learner can
- Enforcement communication: delivers clear verbal and written notices of violation to individuals breaching forest use regulations while maintaining professional tone
- Stakeholder liaison: presents forest management data, including digital mapping outputs, to agency supervisors and partner organizations in formal briefings
- Interagency coordination: exchanges field intelligence on wildfire risk, pest outbreaks, or watershed conditions with adjacent district technicians and rangers
Session plan
- 5 minThe sceneWhere this shows up: manufacturing plants and production floors, working with supervisors, production coworkers, quality staff. Conditions to expect: process-driven, quality-controlled, repetitive. Entry roles this maps to: Cabinetmakers and Bench Carpenters, Continuous Mining Machine Operators, Fallers.
- delivers short- and long-term forest management plans to diverse audiences including agency officials, timber companies, and conservation partners with precise and organized messaging
- 10 minRun itPairs. One plays the supervisors, one plays the Cabinetmakers and Bench Carpenters. Run the scene for four minutes, then swap. The observer scores against the criteria before anyone discusses it.
- Tools in play: Spreadsheet software, Office suite software, Electronic mail software.
- 10 minObserver scores itScored live against the four levels. The scorer marks what they saw, not what they assume the learner could do on a better day. Proficient is the target for this point in the program: Has functional knowledge of the skill and can apply it properly in specific on-the-job settings.
- 10 minSwap and re-runClose the loop: what changed between the first attempt and the last, and what would have to be true for communication to hold up on a bad day.
