Learning and Earning in the 21st Century: What you Need to Know and How to Succeed introduces students to their world of work – the expectations and soft skills needed, as well as the additional skill sets employers demand such as: Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Computer Technology, Communication, etc. This work is evidence based, heavily researched and filled with practice activities to aid the student in developing competency in the skill sets. Incorporating the proven predictor of student success 3rd edition LASSI (Learning and Study Skills Inventory), throughout the text, students are tested prior to beginning the book and after completion.
In an education and skill-based economy, 21st Century employees must monitor and manage their competency in many areas, identify needed knowledge or skill(s) and incorporate the needed information into their work repertoire. Students are encouraged to identify strengths and areas for improvement on the pre-test, thus identifying specific areas on which to concentrate. They gauge their improvement on the post-test. Students are encouraged to be responsible for their own learning outcomes and to incorporate this thinking into managing their career, thus creating a mindset of competency and continued improvement – essential skills for the 21st Century employee. The 3rd edition LASSI is included with the textbook, as is the KHQ study app.
