1. Business Ethics on the Job (20:50)
A series of engaging live-action vignettes help viewers recognize the importance of key ethics such as honesty, loyalty, integrity, confidentiality and respect for others. The video can be paused after each vignette so that students may discuss how they would handle the situation that has been presented. Helps teens to recognize that the best workers are those who demonstrate superior ethical traits as well as diligent work habits.
2. Making a Good Impression: Resumes, Interview & Appearance (21:50)
This program brings viewers back to basics: how to write a proper resume, what to wear on a job interview, and how to behave appropriately in the work place. Viewers will enjoy a series of dramatic (and sometimes comical) vignettes that identify what is – and is not – proper workplace behavior. Special emphasis is given to the importance of good speaking and writing skills, as well as treating bosses and colleagues with due respect.
3. You’re Fired! (16:50)
This program aims to help teens arm themselves with specific, reality-based tools that will help them remain employed. Combines real teens with employment experts who explain that what teens think is acceptable behavior is often not permissible in the work force. Explores issues such as tardiness, appearance, attitude, dishonesty and incompetency, insubordination, substance abuse on the job, sloppiness, and unreliability.
