About this title

Synopsis

FROM MASTER STUDENT TO MASTER EMPLOYEE improves students' abilities to develop and apply the most relevant skills and strategies to both the classroom and the workplace. Each chapter integrates health content and shows students how to recognize and bring the skills they learn in the classroom, such as time-management, to the workplace. Through tools such as the Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI), journal entries, and hands-on activities, students gain a deeper understanding of themselves and learn to continually apply new skills as lifelong learners. The fifth edition includes new learning tools, new technology information, and a new feature with actions students can take in just one minute to make a positive change in their life. With this edition, Cengage's MindTap course brings all of these assets to one place with an integrated technology solution. New for 2021: Empower your students to connect the dots between what they’re learning now and their current or future careers with “How Transferable Are Your Skills?” – a new MindTap activity that challenges students to identify how their personal and academic experiences can help them become career-ready.
