Workplace Readiness Training
Workplace readiness traits describe a number of
commonly expected, skills that employers seek from most employees. Work
readiness skills are a set of skills and behaviors that are necessary for any
job. Work readiness skills are sometimes called soft skills, employability
skills, or job readiness skills.
These abilities help employees
learn how to interact with supervisors and co-workers.
They help reinforce the importance of timeliness and build an understanding of
how
we are perceived by others. Employers value employees who can communicate
effectively and act professionally. No matter what technical skills a job may
require,
every job requires good social skills/interpersonal skills.
Skills
In addition to programming to develop social skills and independent living, workplace readiness training may also include:
- Financial literacy,
- Job-seeking skills,
- Understanding employer expectations for punctuality and performance,
- Other "soft" skills necessary for employment.
These types of services may be provided through instruction, or other activities where the student can learn and apply knowledge.
