Rules of the road: understanding what employers expect in terms of behaviour and conduct when employed.
Did you think of behaviour when you created your list of what employers will be looking for? You may think that only your behaviour during a job interview will be considered as that’s all a prospective employer will see.
Actually, there’s a lot you can do to build up your understanding and the skills needed by employers before you apply for that all important job. And by gaining experience you will be able to demonstrate it in your application.
How? Module 2: Rules of the Road will help you get a much better understanding of what sort of behaviour will be expected in a workplace and how you can learn to adapt your own behaviour to meet your employer’s expectations.
Employers will be looking for evidence that you know how to behave in the workplace and that can be provided in a number of ways. Have you had any part-time work yet? If not, how about voluntary work? You will be offered an opportunity for work experience before you leave school.

Automotive themed complete lesson plans x 12
All lessons are based on real life activities with the motor industry as a backdrop, encompassing sub-sectors such as motorsport, motorcycle, heavy vehicle, motor parts, paint and finishing and sales as well as green issues such as vehicle emissions.
