This module is an excellent tool for students who have struggled to maintain employment because it highlights both the practical skills they need to thrive on the job and the personal behaviors that can help them avoid common reasons for termination, like poor communication, lack of professionalism, and substance abuse.
As an educator, you can offer both guidance and support to help students develop the skills they need to stay employed and succeed in the long run. It's not just about teaching them to land a job, but also about preparing them to be responsible, reliable, and resilient team members.
By integrating real-world examples, open discussions, and active problem-solving, students will be better equipped to avoid obstacles and navigate the workplace with confidence.
