Ample exercises and activities help students immediately apply concepts and materials for transitioning from the classroom to a work environment.

Recognizing that attitude, communication, and human relations are the keys to surviving in today’s challenging, competitive, and uncertain workplace, students will develop practical human relations skills with a primary emphasis on soft skills and expected workplace behaviors; and are provided detailed career planning tools that focus on job search strategies, résumé package development, and interview techniques.
