Education
As an occupational therapist working in the employment sector, I have witnessed the significant impact of the pandemic on employees and jobseekers. The pandemic has caused disruptions to our daily routines, lifestyles, employment, financial planning and future goals, which has led to increased stress, anxiety and sleep disturbances and a decrease in physical activity.  This experiential learning opportunity can help students broaden their horizons after two years of pandemic learning
No prom, no graduation, no high school plays. It’s no surprise to anyone that students who graduated in 2022 did not have a normal high school experience; their only non-pandemic high school year was Grade 9. They have missed out on experiential learning opportunities like sporting events, school plays, international trips, part-time work and summer jobs. While this is showing up on resumes as lack of experience, it is also showing up in a variety of other deficits such as confidence, optimism for their future and understanding the full range of opportunities that lie ahead of them.
