Gr 9 Up—This presentation is intended to help young people develop transferable job skills, such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. The young actors identify skills that they have learned in school and in their community and apply them to working in a job. The program is filmed in a sitcom format, and the intended audience will not appreciate the slapstick humor. The vignette features an entire office of employees who have been given notice from corporate headquarters that they will all be laid off. Together, with a lot of lame antics, the officemates figure out how they can sell themselves to new employers. The silliness of the story and the juvenile humor overwhelm the message.—Ann Weber, Bellarmine College Prep., San Jose, CA
