Applied Communication

Teach communication skills required for success in today's workplace. Combine academic studies with hands-on practice of job-related communication skills. Apply reading, writing, listening, speaking, and problem solving to on-the-job situations in five major occupational areas: agriculture, business/marketing, health occupations, home economics, and technical/trade/industrial.

Applied Communication modules each consist of 10 activity-oriented lessons that can be infused into existing courses or used to form the core of a year-long course taught by English/communication, business, or vocational educators. This competency-based curriculum correlates with vocational education and language arts curricula on the high school and post-secondary levels, as well as in adult retraining programs.
