A lesson plan package for 21st-century skill development
As the world continues to change at a rapid pace so do the skills required for new students entering the workforce.
In the first season of our podcast, Competencies without a Classroom, we interviewed hiring managers, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and experts from a variety of industries to learn the skills they value when building out their 21st-century teams.
We've compiled all of the podcast episodes and turned them into activities for your students, complete with a teacher guide and slideshow presentation.
Whether your students are just beginning their educational journey or are ready to dive into the workforce, the skills and tips shared by the season one podcast guests will help your students learn:
- The 21st-century skills needed in today's (and tomorrow's) workforce
- How to stand out from other candidates when applying for jobs
- Life skills for success beyond high school
