CareerView: Exploring the World of Work

CareerView: Exploring the World of Work by Bliss, Bill. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780135165232.

CareerView is designed to help high-intermediate and advanced English language learners explore their work interests and job opportunities across many employment sectors while they develop career and academic readiness skills to achieve their short-term and long-term goals. Together with its separately published companion Career & Academic Readiness Workbook, the text helps prepare students for a successful transition to continuing education, vocational training, and employment. The course can serve as the capstone level of a traditional basal English series, as a stand-alone or supplemental text for advanced, transition, and bridge classes, and as an introductory career exploration resource for students entering continuing education, occupational training settings, and high school career and technical education programs. School employment counselors, career navigators, and other guidance professionals can also use the text with student advisees to help them explore career pathways. Outstanding Features An integrated curriculum promotes employability and academic readiness goals of the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) and Workforce Employment and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Vibrant illustrations depict an array of occupations and workplace settings. An active conversational approach gives students "soft-skills" practice with functional contextualized workplace communication. Critical thinking and personalization questions promote discussions about workplace values and expectations, problem-solving, and personal experiences. Skills Checks provide built-in review practice in each unit. Tech Tasks develop students digital information skills. The workbook focuses on employment sector information, career and academic readiness skills, and civics connections. A complete audio program and answer key allow students to study independently at their own pace.
