CDEV-2002Employability Skills
Employability skills are those fundamental skills necessary for obtaining, keeping, and being successful in a job. Many students require purposefully structured experiences and instruction to guide them in understanding their own capabilities, their opinions, the adaptations they will need and the general employability skills they need to be successful in the workplace. These skills encompass personal appearance, social skills, teamwork, dependability, organization and work ethic. The ability to acquire and maintain employment depends heavily on the general employability skills students will learn in this course. The course will also introduce students to the e-portfolio, the Red River College LEARN Management System, and Microsoft Word as a word processing system.
