Learning about Soft Skills

 Today in our lesson, we learned about soft skills that are important attributes to have in any profession.  We talked about what our personal strengths.  Amongst our students we have a well rounded group of skills.  

Delina for example, is flexible.  I know I can ask her to work with any students, on any job and she's quite happy to get on and do that.  She's got a great attitude, and her paperwork is second to none. DJ has absolute confidence in his building abilities. When you watch him work, especially when concreting, you can see he uses most tools like he has been using them for years. One of Isaac's key strengths is that he is a strong team player. He can work with anyone, and produce work to a consistently high standard.

Michael is a great motivator. His work ethic, his singing, his optimism are infectious in such a positive way. Otulea has strong leadership skills. His strength is in seeing the job in its entirety, and organising everyone in a way that gets the job done, utilising individual's strengths. Faith is dependable, hard working and highly skilled to boot. She consistently produces sketches, CAD drawings, order forms and cutting lists to a very high standard. Her shelving in the PE shed showed very high accuracy.
