I like how the 5 keys to success provides a good framework for all of the different aspects of being an employee and allows us to think carefully through each key and help our students prepare. I especially like the ideas around exploring emotional states as well as physical states in the Be a Professional key. Your emotional state can have huge impact on your job performance, and I think it is so important to talk about that while the student is still in high school.
