Briefing Notes for Volunteers
Thank you for booking on to a Worktree Virtual Career WorkOut session. The session will introduce students to work guests from different work backgrounds so they can find out what it’s really like in different jobs. Students simply ask guests questions about their personal experiences of work. Below is some more information regarding the session.
How will the session run? You will join up to four other work guests in the virtual classroom using the Butter app. You will receive the Butter link once booked into a session. This app does not need to be downloaded as you can join by clicking the link from your browser. After clicking the link you will be admitted into the virtual classroom as soon as we are ready. The Worktree Facilitator will ask you to introduce yourself in less than a minute along the lines: what is your role, place of work and what job were you thinking of doing when you were the age of these students? The Worktree Facilitator will facilitate and manage all the asking and answering of questions in the virtual classroom.
What questions will I be asked? All questions will be related to the world of work and employability. Here are the questions we give students to consider.
Butter app Lobby. The Worktree facilitator will admit you into the classroom from the waiting room. This may take us a few minutes therefore please do stay on the link even if a few minutes over the starting time.
Sound/Camera. Please check that your audio and camera are working. If possible select a 'blurred' background. When you are not speaking during the session, click mute to eliminate any feedback/background noise. When you are asked a question, please unmute to give your response.
Photos/Recording. Due to School safeguarding policies, you are not permitted to make a recording or take images of the session.
Dress code - Professional smart casual or work uniform.
Language. Please simplify any business or technical terms, avoid acronyms if possible, and give examples.
