Educator & participant feedback
PDF 63K | HTML

Tackling the Tough Skills™ is a fun, innovative and highly interactive life skills curriculum that helps hard-to-reach adults or teens prepare for success in work and life.

The curriculum was designed to help individuals transition from welfare to work, but it’s easily adaptable to a wide range of audiences, including adults and teens. It's also being used in the workplace to teach soft skills to employees. The curriculum was developed by University of Missouri Extension.

Soft skills aren't "fluff." They are life skills that many take for granted, yet are critical when a person doesn't have them. Like: Attitude. Responsibility. Communication. Problem solving. Preparing for the workplace.
