Skills for Work: Book 4 – Rights and Responsibilities

Description

In Book 4: Rights & Responsibilities, students build on the skills already developed throughout the ‘Skills for Work’ series. The activities focus on the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers, and encourage young people to be proactive and aware of their own needs in a workplace.

Each unit contains a range of learning activities to support and guide students through what can be a difficult and challenging part of their lives. The four units are:

• Getting started – explores the very beginnings of the worker – workplace relationships and employer expectations
• Getting along – looks at the relationships that exist in a workplace including working as a team
• Staying safe – focuses on worker and workplace safety
• building a future – dares students to dream about the future and imagine what they want for the rest of their lives

Skills for Work can be used in a number of ways:

• as the basis for stand-alone units for work
• as a support for a wider classroom program
• at a number of year levels and across program areas
• in a range of environments, including TAFEs, schools and community learning settings

This book will be an invaluable addition to the shelves of mainstream English teachers; special needs, ESL and vocational teachers; and parents and caregivers.
