FOUNDATIONS FOR WORK: 21ST CENTURY SKILLS
Power Skills that support effective team and individual contributions
There are many names to describe skills that often ‘make or break’ an individual’s success at work: soft skills, 21st century skills, employability skills, etc. These skills are not always inherent but can be taught, practiced and developed for success.
We have created a Foundations for Work 21st Century Skills program along with Toyota’s Improvement Kata to prepare your workforce to perform in today’s ever-changing environment. We discuss workplace expectations, self-awareness, communication, teamwork and problem-solving.
Delivery Options
Group classes are available both in-person as well as virtual classroom. Each participant also receives four sessions of one-on-one post-training coaching to further strengthen the skills in real workplace applications. This unique support provides a personalized and comprehensive skills development program.
