I was unfamiliar with the 5 keys to success. Learning their specifics will help me teach students how to be a well rounded employee. I also enjoyed the statistics related to internships/ their importance.
Most employability skills courses focus on obtaining employment. This module has very helpful information that I can share with my students; many of them have had difficulty maintaining employment. Another reason for termination is related to substance abuse on the job.
Coach students on how they can become a valuable "team member" at their organization. Little tidbits embedded in "stories" often leave a lasting impression.
I found this module to represent an excellent way to introduce and practice good worker and communication skills. This information will be especially important to those students who have had limited successes on the job and perhaps in life.
The "5 Keys to Success" will be extremely helpful to students. I also liked the scenarios given, so that students could help brainstorm solutions to these "issues" that could arise in the workplace. It will help them become better employees in the long run.
The 5 Keys to Success was helpful to learn about. The information regarding working with employers was beneficial.

Communication is critical.
The way you approach any situation and person can be helpful or be a hindrance to what the goal is. So it's important to think carefully about how you will help offset any problems that arise in the workplace (how you behave towards superiors, coworkers, and customers/clients alike).
This describes excellent ways to introduce and practice good worker and communication skills. Very important!
