This session highlights how KET resources can be leveraged to build the introductory workplace skills that learners need to succeed in today’s workforce. The session will showcase practical, ready-to-use tools that support career exploration and foundational skill-building for individuals at the beginning of their employment journey. Participants will be introduced to a selection of online resources, focusing on PBS LearningMedia and Workplace Essential Skills.

Attendees will learn practical ways to approach workforce expectations using real-world scenarios, helping clients see connections between skill development and employment success. We’ll also discuss how digital media can increase engagement while reinforcing essential concepts. Collaboration is a key component of this session. Participants will also have the opportunity to exchange ideas, share challenges they face when communicating basic workplace skills, and recommend approaches that have worked in their programs. By the end of the session, attendees will leave with an expanded personal toolkit, new instructional strategies, and increased confidence in using KET Adult Education resources to support foundational workforce skill development.
