Teaching and Learning Employability Skills in Career and Technical Education

“The examination of employability skills and the way that subsequent chapters break this concept down into concrete practices is especially helpful in understanding how we as educators can be building soft skills into our students' learning and into our teaching in a more thoughtful, intentional way.”
—Elizabeth Leblanc, Director of Instruction, Taos Academy Charter School, USA, and Co-Founder/CEO, Institute for Teaching and Leading (i4tl), USA

“Before reading this book, I wasn’t aware of the high school programs available that taught critical thinking, teamwork, and problem solving techniques that could be applied to the manufacturing/service trade industry. Our recruiting team will be partnering up with similar programs in our city to build a strong bench of employees. As the aging technical workforce retires, the next generation will have to fill both existing as well as newly created jobs.”
