Review: Essential Resource in User-Friendly Format - I am preparing to use this workbook for the second time as the text in a class for adults preparing to enter or re-enter the workforce. The lessons are engaging,easy to present and well-organized, and the quotes and stories lead to great opportunities for discussion. I find that students have some real "Aha Moments" during reflective discussion. Topics include work ethic, attitudes, teamwork, problem solving, and communication skills. I am a retired educator and HR professional, and I only wish I had known of this workbook earlier. The topics presented are on target for employees in any work setting, and especially useful for new or potential hires.Employers cannot assume that all employees understand the importance of work attitude and workplace behavior, and in my experience, problems in this area can be much more damaging and harder to remediate than skills' deficits. In preparation for using the workbook for my upcoming class, I went to the website and requested the free support materials, and within a day the author emailed a pdf file for an instructors' guide and assessments.The pre and post assessments, as well as the learner self-assessments provided will add an important element to my new class. Of note, the first section of this book is available as a briefer, stand-alone workbook [ASIN:1481882767 10 Things Employers Expect Their Employees To Know: A Soft Skills Training Workbook]. I ordered a copy to preview for my first class, but decided to use the full text version and all it includes. However, the shorter text still covers a lot of ground and would be useful for on-boarding workshops for any business. Both resources have large text and a simple reading format. This can be very important for many who are facing challenges in becoming employed. If you are working with new employees, pre-service trainees, or anyone preparing for the world of work, I highly recommend Mr. Wentz's materials.
Review: Very good resource! Ready to use upon delivery! - I facilitate a robust, results-oriented work participation program designed to identify barriers and help clients currently receiving TANF and FIP cash assistance connect to the resources they need to obtain employment. Teaching critical soft skills is a significant part of the program, and I am always on the lookout for high-quality, well-written resources to use in my workshops and in my day-to-day interactions with my clients. "Soft Skills Training: A workbook to develop skills for employment" by Frederick H Wentz is an excellent guide and lesson planner. I plan to begin using it immediately! Mr. Wentz also provided me with a PowerPoint presentation to use in conjunction with the workbook, which is equally well-put together and a huge time-saver for me. Thank you, Mr Wentz! I look forward to receiving "10 Things Employers Expect Their Employees To Know: A Soft Skills Training Workbook," which is on its way to me now!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Valuable Resource for Much Needed Skills
*by K***R on June 24, 2018*

I ran across this gem of a workbook while searching for curricula to develop and supplement a high school English class for Jump Start students who have chosen a vocational career path. It offers excellent material complete with real-world knowledge to prepare students for the skills employers are looking for plus inspirational reading activities to improve growth mind-set and great critical thinking exercises to enhance problem-solving skills. It is a valuable teaching resource for all high school students - not just those who have chosen vocational paths for careers. Soft skills are needed in absolutely all careers! This resource helps to develop the somewhat lost art of social skills. Social media is a double-edged sword. While it can be used positively to connect in meaningful ways, it also inhibits the full development of the dynamics of face-to-face social interaction. Improvement of soft skills also greatly enhances the learning environment of the classroom and provides structure for classroom management. This is a great resource!
