Synopsis
The lessons in this workbook help students - especially youth who are transitioning to employment - to 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. The workbook contains 16 two-page lessons that are divided into 4 units. 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

A companion handbook - sold separately - is also available, and can be used together with the workbook or separately. The full-colour student handbook contains reading passages that contain practical content on the topic with visual appeal; it reads more like a magazine than a textbook.
