If you would like to learn critical life skills to help you be more
successful at work and in life, NEK-CAP, Inc. is offering a fun, fresh
approach at a new class starting May 6th, 2014.
Tackling the Tough Skills classes, an 8-class session, will be held every
Tuesday and Friday beginning May 6th through May 30th. Attendance at all
sessions will be required to receive completion certificate. Classes will
be held at the NEK-CAP Outreach Office, 530 West Jones Street in Troy from
1:00pm to 4:00pm. The program will use a proven life skills curriculum from
University of Missouri Extension called Tackling the Tough Skills(tm): A
Curriculum Building Skills for Work and Life.
Participants will learn and hone critical life skills related to attitude,
responsibility, communication, problem solving, preparing for the workplace,
anger management, conflict resolution, critical thinking, self-esteem,
teamwork, and dealing with stress.
Many people take for granted such skills as communicating effectively,
taking responsibility, and handling anger appropriately, but lacking these
critical life skills can seriously impact a person's ability to get along
with others at home and at work.
The Tackling the Tough Skills(tm) curriculum has impacted adults and teens
around the world since being published in 2000. The curriculum teaches what
many call "soft skills," but which are essential skills if a person doesn't
have them.
Individuals from various backgrounds have participated in Tackling the Tough
Skills training programs offered by such organizations as community
agencies, educational institutions and corporations.
The classes will be facilitated by Belinda White, Family Development
Advocate. Pre-enrollment is needed in order to ensure that adequate
enrollment exists to hold the scheduled session. If the workshop should be
full, we will attempt to contact you as to the next available workshop
session. If inadequate pre-enrollments are received, the workshop will be
cancelled for that location. No child care will be available. For more
information or to pre-register by May 1st, contact Belinda at 785-985-2619
or bwhite@nekcap.org<mailto:bwhite@nekcap.org>.
