"Workin' It Out"

For Challenging New Workers


Download Workbook Sample
WHO?
The 10-lesson Workin It Out program targets inexperienced or dislocated workers starting a new job, or preparing to do so soon.

WHY?
Many new or dislocated workers lack the basic interpersonal skills necessary to succeed in the social environment of today's workplace.

In addition, our increasingly diverse workforce brings varying beliefs and customs regarding appropriate behavior at work. The common-sense expectations many employers hold may be foreign to those with little experience in the workplace.

WHAT?
Through realistic stories, interactive role-plays, and thought-provoking activities, Workin It Out participants come to better understand the unspoken rules of the workplace. They also learn and practice simple but useful skills for communicating and resolving common work-related problems.
