'Work Experience' and 'Getting Along With Colleagues' are two of the latest 45-60 min teacher-facilitated life challenge modules in the Persona Life Skills personal development platform, helping young people prepare for the workplace.
Persona Life Skills is the only personal development platform with personality insights at its heart, where students age 13-19 develop social-emotional skills to boost wellbeing, academic success and employability.
Preparing for work experience or a new job – whether part-time or a first step on the career ladder – can be an anxious time for young people. In our Work Experience module. pupils learn how transferable skills can help them land a desirable job, as well as the importance of time management and being adaptable.
