Synopsis

Career readiness and workplace development are more important than ever. To be competitive and successful in today's job market, students need to learn how to continuously expand their knowledge and skills, and be able to apply these skills both on and off the job. From Master Student to Master Employee is a new text that focuses on helping students understand how the skills they use in the classroom can be applied in the workplace, and, similarly, how workplace skills translate to the classroom.

• Link to the World of Work guides students toward learning strategies they will need to make a smooth and successful transition into higher education.
• Career Application case studies highlight transferable skills, stimulate critical thinking and focus on making successful transitions from success in school to success on the job. Each case study introduces an employee who is actively involved in applying the skills discussed in the chapter (i.e., planning, communicating, etc.).

• Master Student MAP (Metacognitive Application Process) introduces each chapter and acts as a common theme throughout the text to guide students in monitoring thinking and learning.
