Tuesday: Hobby Lobby

I would like to give a big shout-out to the staff at Fort Wayne's Hobby Lobby! 

The class went on a trip today to our local Hobby Lobby to evaluate the store's environment and help identify the jobs which the trainees could possibly expect to do if they worked in a store like Hobby Lobby. The class took a "Job Assessment" form which I found online to the store and they filled it out as they walked around. The form asked the students to do things like identify 8 jobs at the store, choose a job each individual person would enjoy doing, and decide if they would like to work in the store. The form really helped everyone focus on the purpose of the outing and it is surprisingly easy to identify 8 jobs. 

The staff at Hobby Lobby were incredibly helpful and took time to answer any questions the trainees asked about their jobs. Three of the trainees in the class went out of their way to find employees and then ask them about their jobs. I was so impressed by one employee who stopped what they were doing to explain how they do their job and the organizational system they operated under.
