Persona Education Newsletter, Sep-23
27-Sep-23
Five new teacher-facilitated life challenge modules have been released in our online student personal development platform Persona Life Skills, supporting students in Workplace related scenarios, such as work experience, choosing a career path, and getting along with colleagues.
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 their wellbeing and employability.
Alongside the technical and digital skills required for the future workforce, there is a massive requirement for a range of ‘softer’ skills, also known as transferable skills. All 22 Life Skills covered in the Persona Life Skills platform are relevant to the workplace, spanning everything from Time Management to Effective Teamwork and Empathy. The five new modules support students in preparing for life in the workplace: Work Experience; Job Choices; Getting Along With Colleagues; Giving Presentations; Leadership.
