Professionalism, 4/Eprepares students for their first professional job, providing career planning tools, expected behaviors, and soft skills essential for career success. Ample exercises and activities help students immediately apply concepts and materials for transitioning from the classroom to a work environment.

About this title

Review

As I say to my students "it's a keeper"! The textbook and all support material are invaluable to effective training overall professional skills in preparing students for the realities of the workforce.

-- Heidi Lee Arrington, University of Hawai'i - Kapi'olai Community College

I think the variety of information is the biggest strength as there is a lot of activities and assignments for all students. The materials were very well produced.
