Work Ethic

Character Development and Life Skills Training for the Workplace

Workforce readiness is more than just hard skills training. Employers are seeking workers who have soft skills, including attitude, attendance, character development, responsibility and choice—in other words, a strong work ethic.

If you are seeking to lower the drop out rate in your school, help a prison re-entry program, increase employability for graduates, give your GED students a leg up, turn at risk youth into contributing citizens or motivate Generation Y to become successful employees, we can help!

Smart Work Ethics is a program developed to create an understanding of workplace ethics, sometimes referred to as soft skills. From making a good first impression to knowing that interpersonal skills are required, students need to be aware of what their employers look for, look at, and measure when they hire and promote employees. Students who are unaware of these standards risk losing their job and becoming part of the “revolving door of entry level employees.” Smart Work Ethics can be blended successfully with existing programs, GED programs, prison re-entry programs, high school curriculum and drop out prevention programs.

Students will become employees who:

Show up every day
Show up on time
Use work time as work time—not personal time
Have a positive work attitude—enhance productivity
Get along with boss, co-workers and customers
Work independently
Take responsibility
Make informed choices

Have accurate self perception of abilities
Manage time effectively
