Integrated and Contextualized Workforce Skills in the Classroom, Session I: Transferable Skills for the Workplace (Part 1, Online)

Workshop Description :
How can you prepare your learners to succeed in the workforce? Find out what employers say are essential skills for today's workforce. This session shows you how to connect transferable skills in the classroom to the workplace.

This is the first of two sessions; each session is broken into two parts (4 webinars total). Part 2 of Session I will take place on May 16, 2024, from 4:00-5:30pm. Session II is geared toward implementing integrated and contextualized instruction for specific content areas.

Please note: Registering for Part 1 of either session automatically registers you for Part 2 of that session.

Goals :
The goal is to provide background on skills transferable from the classroom to the workplace and to teach students how to articulate those skills. Session I emphasizes the need to directly teach transferable skills and the connection between using these skills in the classroom and in the workplace. With an overview and comparison of four frameworks, Session I provides participants an opportunity to reflect on the practice and importance of teaching transferable skills in the classroom.
