Arvada High School – Ace Job Keeping

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

As developmentally appropriate, ACE Job Keeping is designed for students to learn about various employability skills necessary to meet and exceed employer expectations on the job by developing workplace skills such as interpersonal communication, teamwork, leadership, critical thinking and ethical decision making in the workplace. Students will evaluate employee benefit plans (medical, dental, vision, worker’s compensation, unemployment, retirement plan, employee discounts, educational incentives, etc.). Additionally, students will recognize opportunities for advancement on the job. Students will become familiar with workplace laws and policies including: Child Labor Laws, Fair Labor Act, Equal Employment Opportunity, Workplace Safety (OSHA), Americans with Disability Act (disability disclosure as appropriate), Sexual Harassment (definition, scenarios, appropriate behavior, policies and procedures). Whenever possible, computer literacy skills, and leadership skills tied to a CTSO should be embedded into the curriculum.  The content of this course has been substantially modified for students with individual learning plans. While the course aligns with Jeffco’s curriculum in general, it may not address many of the essential learnings listed in the curriculum of a non-modified course. Parents and students are advised to discuss with school personnel how this course may impact post-secondary options. \\_\\_\\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
