Example Standards to practice and demonstrate: | Workplace Ready
- 1.2.3 Demonstrate respect for diversity by valuing individual differences and working collaboratively with people of diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences
- 1.3.4 Demonstrate efficiency and productivity by planning, prioritizing, and adapting work goals to manage time and resources effectively
- 1.3.2 Demonstrate career and life management by planning, implementing, and managing personal and professional development goals related to education, career, finances, and health
Employability skills, often referred to as Workplace or Career Readiness skills, have for many years been a recognizable component of standards and curriculum in all career and technical education (CTE) programs. The Workplace Readiness Standards are designed to ensure students graduate from high school properly prepared with skills employers prioritize as the most important. The standards provide a means through which students may acquire and exhibit leadership qualities, as leadership development principles are embedded in most, if not all, of the standards.
