Work Education Book 2: Learning in the Workplace

This text book aims to help students develop their knowledge, skills and attitudes in the workplace. Students learn how to:

• Articulate, assess and evaluate the roles and responsibilities of individuals and organisations within the community in a workplace setting.
• Develop and evaluate goals, transition and pathway plans linked to education, employment and training opportunities.
• Develop knowledge and skills in communication and interpersonal communications using technology.
• Understand and appreciate the roles and responsibilities of individuals and organisations within a community context.

Once again, a major focus by the authors is the application of the key competencies as visual cues for students to recognise when they are developing and drawing on these skills as they work through the activities. In Learning in the Workplace students are provided with opportunities to investigate and apply their knowledge and skills in a practical way in a workplace context.

Work Education Book One and Book Two have been written in line with the Board of Studies Work Education syllabus (2003).
