{"product_id":"9789814689489","title":"Preparing Youths for the Workplace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is to expose youths, educators, counsellors and parents to the current demands in the workplace and how there is an urgent need to strengthen and develop deep skills and work-related competencies among youths to prepare them for a more self-fulfilling career path. The reader will realise the importance of eradicating some of the work-related myths and recognise that matching of one's interest and passion has greater priority than salary, prestige or expectations of parents. The book will also expose other essential skills necessary in the transition to the job market such as the role of internship and mentors to assist youths to build their confidence as well as some personal social emotional competencies like their ability to be conscious of their thoughts and emotions as they self-manage and self-regulate themselves so that they are always aware of how to use their strengths to engage and relate with others as they make responsible decisions in their career plans or workplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing for Work, Equipping for the Future \u003ci\u003e(Lim Boon Huat)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Youths Need to Be Prepared for Work \u003ci\u003e(Eden Liew)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeveloping Social-Emotional Competencies for Life:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding Oneself through Self-Awareness \u003ci\u003e(Jessie Ee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManaging and Regulating Emotions \u003ci\u003e(Jessie Ee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping and Promoting Social Awareness \u003ci\u003e(Jessie Ee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship Management \u003ci\u003e(Jessie Ee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking Responsible Decisions \u003ci\u003e(Jessie Ee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeveloping Work-Related Competencies at Home and in School:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnowing Oneself and Career Counselling \u003ci\u003e(Ian Tan\u0026amp;Melvin Chia)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting the Most out of Industry Internships \u003ci\u003e(Joel Lee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmployability Skills in Career Preparation \u003ci\u003e(Agnes Chang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking through Collaborative Learning \u003ci\u003e(Agnes Chang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding Confidence and Resilience \u003ci\u003e(Esther Tan)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFostering Critical Communication Skills for the Future \u003ci\u003e(Jeffrey Mok)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpening Your Resume Writing and Interview Skills \u003ci\u003e(Adelaide Chang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork Values through Sports \u003ci\u003e(John Tan)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing Our Children for Tomorrow's World \u003ci\u003e(Tan Khye Suan)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing Future-Ready Students: A Teacher's Perspective \u003ci\u003e(Brian Lui)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNurturing Primary Students for the Real World \u003ci\u003e(Siah Siew Ling\u0026amp;Chiok Hwee Fen)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-Regulation of AD(H)D Habits \u003ci\u003e(Chelsea Chew)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing Positive Psychology to Help Young Adults with High Functioning Autism Transit to the Workplace \u003ci\u003e(Chelsea Chew)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Students, parents, educators and the general public.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185306648816,"sku":"9789814689489","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814689489_p0.jpg?v=1763691329","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814689489","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
