CAREER EXPLORATION – WORKPLACE SKIT
In groups of no more than 4, choose one of the workplace scenarios listed below or develop your own
idea and put on a 3-4 minute skit. You must first develop a script and assign a role to every member of
your group. When conducting your skit each group member should have their lines memorized and
cannot be reading from the script.
At the end of your skit provide a brief explanation on the purpose of your skit, your personal feelings on
the situation and also be ready to answer any questions. You may use props such as a desk, chair,
computer, phone, etc. to simulate a business environment. In your skit it is imperative you show both an
example of the right way to handle the situation and also the wrong way.
