The Facilitator Guide distills the latest research on the core workforce competencies — including topics on social and emotional development, positive psychology, and resiliency. The Guide introduces replicable strategies and applied practice activities for coaching on the targeted skills.
Student Workbooks feature class activities for skill development, followed by strategies for self-reflection, goal setting, and monitoring one’s progress.
The Internship Handbook guides practice and introduces Optimal Performance™ self-reflection and mentoring instruments for the targeted skills.
The Employability Essentials curriculum has become a critical piece of our Cybersecurity program. Students are engaged in the personalized content and challenged by the application of these skills in their daily lives. This is giving them ownership of their own goals and dreams, deepens their communication skills especially in work environments, builds on integrity, and empowers them to do quality work for the greater good.
