Essential Skills/Compétences Essentielles: Skills for Life, Learning and Work (CD-ROM). Human Resources Development Canada (NAD), 2000. No order number is required. ($10.00).
(CAN) Developed by Human Resources Development Canada, this resource can provide some excellent answers to students who are wondering about future careers and the skills they will need. Skills such as reading, writing, numeracy, oral communication, thinking, problem solving, working with others and computer use are all connected to 170 different occupations. Students can look up a particular career/occupation and see how each of the skills fits in, or they can look up the skill and receive a list of all the occupations that would make use of that skill. For example, if problem solving is entered as a skill, it will list occupations such as mechanics, cosmetologists and carpenters. The program will then give examples of the types of problem solving that take place in each of these occupations. Students can then compare their skill levels with those that are needed on the job. Links to websites for further information are also provided. This information is also accessible through a website at: http://www15.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/
