Academic Skills And Career Skills

Today I am going to discuss the skills that I believe are necessary to be successful in today’s workforce. A skill that I believe is critical in the workforce is an understanding of basic technology. A hard work ethic is a key to success in the workforce today as well. Having an eagerness to learn will allow the individual as well as the organization to advance in unparalleled ways.

The first year of Business Administration program sufficiently covers almost all of the skills described in the Employability skills 2000+ handout from the Conference Board of Canada, at least as well as can be done in a single year.

In the practice of teaching, it is the responsibility of a teacher not only to teach students subject matter, but to teach students in order to enable them to grow and develop as a person. While it is essential for students to have an understanding of academic material, it is also equally as important that when students finish their education they have skills to use in

The importance of learning academic and vocational skills throughout high school is that it creates a basis for every major or job they could want to do, and see non-academic subjects in an intellectual light. A student spends roughly four thousand hours in high school. Very little of this time is spent learning vocational skills if any. This is because in our society, there is a bias that more academic based jobs are of higher status than vocational jobs.

Millennials are growing up in the information age and have many advantages that previous generations did not possess. Unfortunately, there are skills that these kids lack that are essential for today’s world called social responsibility. This can have the traits of perseverance through tasks, dependability, and work ethic. In the article, “Experts Zero In on Nonacademic Skills Needed for Success” by Sarah Sparks she explains in great detail of the faults in our generation.

Unfortunately, the results of the career assessment surveys on www2.careercruising.com did not place my desired career as one of the careers it thought I would be interested in. Another thing the career assessments told me I was primarily a visual learner, but I had a secondary preference for tactile learning as well. However, it gave me a career that correlates with the subject I want to teach as my career, which happens to be mathematics (career: mathematician). This choice can be the match for lighting the fuse for the rocket that is my career path so I can blast off with my career in the future. However, I was a bit disappointed that these surveys did not land me with a “teaching” job, but one thing I can agree on is the fact that it landed me with a math-related career, because math is my favorite subject in school overall. Even so, these results might help me pursue my dream of becoming a middle-school math teacher if I work hard enough. In conclusion, even though some of these surveys’ results don’t match my interests, I can still work hard to prove them otherwise.

I believe I've grown as a student for skills for Academic Success because ,when I started 9th grade at Vaughn I was not happy with the grade I got. I had very poor grammar. I always tried my best to get a good grade or at least a better grade then the one I had. Now I believe I improve my grades and skills for Academic Success because there was stuff I didn't understand. When I started Vaughn I didn't know that is freshman had to have 130 reading points. When I heard that I started reading books ,didn't really concentrate because I was not use to reading but now I finish a book and move on to the next one.

The lecture discussed the unrealistic expectation from teachers in being 'Jack of all trade' which is often not possible in real world.It stresses the need for letting the teachers teach what they feel most passionate about, in this way they will motivate the children.It is also a fact that no one can be good in all the subjects at the same

When I answered the questions on career cruising I found that my results were inaccurate as to the career I am interested in. The first career was mechanical engineer. Environmental engineer is the second on list. The career that I am actually interested in Software development and Computer science I did not get the results I was looking for in my career assessment. I will still look for a career in information technology when I enter the workforce but for now I will look into the jobs the field has to offer. I want to become a software developer and work for good software company, I hope it works out that way in the end. I disagree with the survey results because I do not want to become a engineer in those fields, I feel like being an engineer will be to heavy of a weight on my shoulders. Environmental engineer would not fit me because I am not a environmental type of person.

My greatest skills are any soft skills. I have a true fascination with non-cognitive skills such as communication, time management, organization, leadership, teamwork, adaptability, and management skills. For my high school graduation project, I founded a soft skills mentoring program for middle school students. I view soft skills as a major necessity for college and career success and I would love to incorporate my passion for soft skills into my ability to be a counselor or support staff.

At the start of every morning most people begin to plan their day accordingly based off the amount of work they have to do. To narrow it down it is a to-do list of the most imperative chores, swarmed with work and responsibilities. Students tend to have hectic days teemed with the responsibilities they have to do, especially if they are involved in after-school clubs or athletic teams. A typical day is when they wake up promptly to catch their bus or ride to arrive at school at an earlier time; 7:30. Go through their school day getting all their assignments they have to get done for the next day, yet for some still make time accordingly for their after-school priorities. After successfully finishing all the responsibilities, a student needs to prioritize their time for homework and studying. Time goes by profusely within the blink of an eye. As a college student my perspective stands extremely steady, continue arriving to school at the early hour, 7:30 am, so that a student can learn responsibility, time management and stay proactive.

My career and education goals are to go UARM and focus on Machine tool technology. Right now I am currently taking the class after my high school classes and I would like to keep working in this area because so far I really enjoy the class and I love the hands on work we do with the machines and computers. In Mena the are lots of jobs in this field and I would still like to live here.

It has not been easy but challenging and interesting. Unfortunately in this present job I have no colleagues, institution authorities or supervisors, which means anything I do in the classroom hardly ever provides me any feedback of what I am doing. Except of course for the eventual commentaries I receive from my students and the annual performance evaluation. Therefore I had this urgent necessity of obtaining some refreshment and reviewing of what I am doing in my classroom. I need to make a stop to reflect about how effective my teaching is. If the things I am doing are adequate and suitable to take my pupils to achieve their goal to communicate in the target language. Teaching in this context was at the beginning of the journey a frightening and stressing episode, first of all because I did not know anything about mining, geology, finance and accounting, just to mention some and not to make myself look like a complete ignorant. Secondly the atmosphere in a corporate has nothing to do with the informal ambience in an elementary school and thirdly but not least important, the students expectations and perceptions are not the same. Thus, I had to remake myself.

Writing is one of the four basic skills to be taught for the students. It is a way for students to express their idea and opinion. The important of writing can be seen in daily activities when they need to write short texts such as memos, invitation letters, sympathy notes, brochure, article, business letters, applications letter and many others. Through writing students can transfer their experiences and knowledge to others. So, they should be able to produce sentences and develop it into paragraphs and essays. It is active thinking process of the students to plan, arrange and express idea in order the text could be understood by the readers. A good writing helps avoid misunderstanding between the writer’s idea and the reader’s opinion.

Learning is best for students whenever their teacher applies emotion, gives them the requisite support and challenges them. It is through such process that students gain in-depth learning and thus discover their values, abilities, passions as well as responsibilities in learning situations that provide adventure. In most school lessons, students undertake tasks that require them to use their creativity, self-discipline and craftsmanship. It is thus the work of the teacher to assist the students discover their hidden abilities and overcome their fears in applying their knowledge to classroom and job problems through in-depth teaching practice.
