The school-to-work transition has never been easy. Now students need both traditional academic preparation and skills designed for success in the work world. This important series is the first of its kind to respond to the findings of the U.S. Secretary of Labor's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) competencies for students. These eight titles provide an accessible format for students to become familiar with these competencies and thus be better prepared for high performance in school, on the job, and in their future careers.

Future managers and workers will be most effective if they can work within diverse populations. This book prepares students with a foundation of tolerance and positive interaction to be leaders in a multicultural workplace.
