Project-based Learning
Project-based learning - Discovery Projects in each chapter require students to use critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and analysis skills. Challenge Projects provide opportunities for extended, in-depth explorations that require students to synthesize skills and concepts learned across several chapters. Discovery Projects are introduced in the student text, but completed in the online program. Online videos and other resources introduce the key concepts students need to complete the project. Discovery projects develop research, collaboration, communication and presentation skills.

Real-World
As a program focused on career- and life-skills, Succeeding in the World of Work is the definition of relevant. We focus on practical, real-world issues that are highly important for young people, such as “how do I get a job?”, “can I afford a place of my own?”, and “what are my rights as an employee?” Every student will find issues of personal relevance throughout the program.
Students will also be asked to build relationships with peers and teamwork skills necessary for career success. Many of the Discovery and Challenge Projects require students to work together with partners or teams. Other projects require students to reach out to family or community members as they explore career options. Students need more than academic skills to succeed in the workplace. They need to understand their roles, rights, and responsibilities as workers. They also need a solid foundation in interpersonal and life skills. Succeeding in the World of Work is a comprehensive introduction to the 21st Century workforce.
Students begin by examining their own strengths and interests and exploring careers opportunities. Then, they’ll learn how to find job leads, apply for jobs, and ace their first interview
