According the the U.S. Department of Labor,
"Skills to Pay the Bills: Mastering Soft Skills for Workplace Success," is a curriculum developed by ODEP focused on teaching "soft" or workforce readiness skills to youth, including youth with disabilities. Created for youth development professionals as an introduction to workplace interpersonal and professional skills, the curriculum is targeted for youth ages 14 to 21 in both in-school and out-of-school environments. The basic structure of the program is comprised of modular, hands-on, engaging activities that focus on six key skill areas: communication, enthusiasm and attitude, teamwork, networking, problem solving and critical thinking, and professionalism.
To bad the Department of Education isn't on the same page. Some would argue, and the DOL has for years, that these skills are as important as the traditional content areas but most teacher will tell you they have to teach to the test. Arghhhhhhhh.
This is the synopsis video. You can find the individual videos on each area HERE.
