Learn the Knowledge
and Skills Needed
In today's global marketplace, skills and knowledge are
what count.
Work is an economic exchange: you are trading your labor
for pay. You are hired to perform skills. Period.
In business, your success depends on your knowledge and
skills. People will pay you for the products or services
you sell, if you have the skills to make them competitive. If
you don't, you will fail.
Fortunately, we know what skills are needed. There
are good opportunities to learn them. And learning
them can be fun and rewarding. Experts recommend:
- Learn what the Foundation
Skills are, and continually
strengthen them.
- Get as much schooling as you
can. Do the best you can. Take advantage of
school programs, like Vocational and Technical Education
if they meet your needs.If at all possible, go beyond getting
a high school diploma. Get
a two-year or four-year college degree.
- Take advantage of the clubs
at school and after school opportunities like 4-H,
Boy and Girls Scouts, and Junior Achievement.
- Learn about business and self-employment. Read
books and business magazines; talk with people who
have there own business and those who ended
their business to become employed.
