I have used this material with great success and have taught soft skills in schools, inner-city church programs, nonprofits, and government funded job training programs. It is a unique collection of essays, exercises, quotes, and maxims that will give students a realistic perspective on work-related expectations and the expectations of the supervisors who hire them. It will help students develop their problem solving skills, guide them in making appropriate decisions, and create a desire to plan out goals and achieve them. The workbook style is challenging and playful, serious and engaging and a stepping stone to developing the cognitive skills necessary to quash unproductive thinking and self-defeating emotional behaviors"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Soft skills. 650 0 $a Core competencies. 650 0 $a Employee empowerment. 650 0 $a Vocational guidance. 650 6 $a CompeÌtences non techniques. 650 6 $a CompeÌtences de base. 650 6 $a Personnel $x Habilitation. 650 7 $a Core competencies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00878931 650 7 $a Employee empowerment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908969 650 7 $a Soft skills. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01746860 650 7 $a Vocational guidance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01168579 941 $a 1 952 $l UVAX975 $d 20240215013848.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30900A6CCBD011EEA85EE9E240ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWSInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
