The results of that study were summarized in Virginia's Changing Workplace and provided the foundation for the Virginia's Workplace Readiness Skills Curriculum. *Derived from Virginia’s Changing Workplace: Employers Speak, 1997. Martin, Julia H; Carrier, Achsah H; and Hill, Elizabeth A. Virginia's Changing Workplace: Employers Speak. Charlottesville, VA: Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service The 13 Virginia's Workplace Readiness Skills include: Reading Math Writing Speaking Computer Problem-solving skills Understanding the "big picture" Work ethic A positive attitude Independence and initiative Self-presentation skills Attendance Teamwork

Transferring SDV 100 to 4 Year Universities

Benefits of the Class… The Career Coaches say… “The best and “consistent” thing I saw and heard back from the “at-risk” students who completed SDV 100 while in HS was a new found confidence, in general, AND a specific confidence that made them believe that they CAN BE a college student. Wow! I have witnessed how this new confidence has lead them to a place they never thought they would be… a success in school!”

Benefits of the Class… The Students say… “What I liked most about the class was that it showed all of us the importance of going to college and that not only the smartest kids could get in and make it, but us average and under average kids could too. We can all make a difference, it showed us the value and importance of a good education.”
