Skills for Success is a framework of skills needed for work, learning and life. Specifically, these skills help prepare people for success in the workplace.
Through this lesson, students in middle/ junior high school will learn about Skills for Success, the skills that have been identified in the Skills for Success framework and why they are necessary to achieving success in life, learning and the workplace.
As part of their learning, students will be introduced to the Skills for Success framework, identifying skills they feel they currently possess (including how they know this) and which ones they feel they need to improve. This will require students to explore strategies for development and improvement. A presentation has been developed to assist teachers in the delivery of this concept.
Students may have already conducted career research and can use this new learning to draw inferences about the career they researched and what is needed and expected by employers for success in that career.
Teachers from different curricula can engage students in this learning activity. The skills students will be learning about are important to their success in life, school and work.
