Introducing: SUCCESS...IN ENTERING THE WORKPLACE - an employability education series that is DIFFERENT
(PRWEB) November 22, 1999
This five-module series was created by teachers. It targets students
From Grades Nine to Adult Education who run the gamut of skills, abilities,
Attitudes, socio-economic status, experience and behaviours.
What is DIFFERENT? Three things:
SEW zeroes in on the “invisible customs and protocol of the
Workplace: the things that aren’t on a job description or in a company handbook. People lose jobs because they don’t have a clue about the “invisible”
Things like being organized, keeping their personal lives private, staying that
Extra few minutes to finish up, recognizing when to keep their mouths shut,
Staying clear of “gripe groups”, knowing when their “rights” are out
Of line. The series is short on theory and heavy on the practical items
That make people hirable or fire-able.
SEW uses real-life scenarios of occupations that require little or no
Post-secondary education. Many of our students donÂ’t become lawyers,
Accountants and engineers. They want to drive truck, work at the
Hardware store, fall trees, cashier, operate a skidder or wait tables. Many
Of the existing resources donÂ’t address these jobs, and if they do, they are
Generally “special education” resources. Now, that’s a subtle
Message!
SEW binders contain hundreds of reproducible activities that use plain
Language and are to-the-point. In addition, there are hundreds more
Teaching suggestions that allow you to tailor programs to meet a wide
Range of needs. Parent course information packages are ready to go.
The five modules are Job Preparation, The Planning Project, The
Proactivity Project, Job Maintenance and Personal Safety Management.
The first three are available now; the last two will be out in February,
2000.
I encourage you to check out this series on our website. You will
Find the material useful for all sorts of kids because itÂ’s based on the
“assume nothing” approach: there’s far more to keeping a job than resumes,
Application forms and interviews.
