Synopsis
The lessons in this full-colour student handbook help students - especially youth who are transitioning to employment - develop literacy levels, lifeskills and the multi-dimensional competencies they need to think and act independently at the workplace. Suitable for use as part of an employment preparation program or independent reading.
Printed in a visually-appealing, full-colour format, the reading passages in this handbook offers practical content on various related topics, and reads more like a magazine than a textbook. Topics covered include:
Off to a Good Start: Importance of first impressions, Fitting in with co-workers, Interpreting a paycheque
Learning the Job: Impressing your supervisor, Following directions and asking for clarification, reading instructions, teamwork
Succeeding on the Job: Measurements of Progress, Benchmarks, Taking initiative, Qualifying for a raise
Workplace Problems and Solutions: Reliability, Handling criticisms, personal problems carried into the workplace, relationships with co-workers
A companion workbook - sold separately - is also available, and can be used together with the handbook or separately. The lessons in the workbook co-relate with the units in the handbook.
