Preparing for Work <http://eff.cls.utk.edu/preparing_for_work.html> ,
developed by Equipped for the Future (EFF) at the Center for Literacy
Studies, University of Tennessee, is a skills-based course designed for
implementation in organizations and workforce agencies involved in
preparing clients and students for work. EFF defined four categories of
skills that support effective performance in the workplace, home and
community: 

1. Communication Skills 

2. Decision-Making Skills 

3. Interpersonal Skills 

4. Lifelong Learning Skills 

 

The curriculum consists of six modules that integrate a variety of EFF
skills and the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills
(SCANS): 

* Overview of the World of Work 

* Work with Others with Integrity 

* Solve Problems 

* Allocate Resources 

* Acquire and Use Information 

* Use Systems 

 

The interactive learning activities within the course, designed to model
authentic, work related experiences and tasks, provide opportunities for
learners to apply the skills being taught, with an added focus on how
skills transfer from one situation or context to another as individuals
advance along a career path. 

 

EFF standards-based instruction is an approach to teaching and learning
focused on broadly accepted expectations of what students should know
and be able to do - the 16 EFF Content Standards.  For more information
