Especially since I ended up getting bored with most of the activities given. 21 Very satisfied 4 Extremely satisfied Somewhat Engaging Amazing Race - Scavenger hunt activity to learn about careers in government and Pleasanton I enjoyed the police one! 22 Extremely satisfied 5 Extremely satisfied Very engaging Community Project - Participate in hands-on project with city staff The job experience was invaluable. It was so different to learn from experienced professionals than in a classroom, because they had worked the job before. The activities were engaging like when public works took us out to a construction site and we got to talk to the contractors directly. 23 Very satisfied 3 Somewhat satisfied Somewhat Engaging Community Project - Participate in hands-on project with city staff I loved the experience, but I feel like 2 hours was a lot? I had a lot of fun, but I feel like there was only so much to talk about, and there were other stations I would have wanted to go to as well. Maybe we could have 3 stations instead of 2 next time. 24 Very satisfied 4 Somewhat satisfied Very engaging Amazing Race - Scavenger hunt activity to learn about careers in government and Pleasanton I enjoyed the networking lunch and breakfast sessions. I would make the lunch period a little longer next time and cut breakfast a little short. 25 Very satisfied 5 Extremely satisfied Neutral Amazing Race - Scavenger hunt activity to learn about careers in government and Pleasanton I enjoyed being able to go to the police station and how they gave us a tour of the building and went over each job as much as they could. With the firefighting, it was so cool to see how they trained and got the hoses out for us. It was all just an amazing experience to see how they ran things and what they did in their day of the life of a firefighter/police officer. 26 Very satisfied 5 Very satisfied Somewhat Engaging online workshop, community project 27 Very satisfied 4 Somewhat satisfied Somewhat Engaging Community Project - Participate in hands-on project with city staff 28 Somewhat satisfied 5 Somewhat satisfied Somewhat Engaging Community Project - Participate in hands-on project with city staff 29 Somewhat satisfied 5 Very satisfied Not engaging at all Job Fair - Meet professionals from city departments and learn about careers I enjoyed the Library staff presentation. I felt like the team building activity was dry and uninteresting and it didn't really interest me since we've already learnt about climate change. I also felt like it wasn't lead very well and we were all left floundering. Attachment 1 Page 10 of 14
