Through credit courses in Life Skills, students learn to effectively evaluate their academic and personal strengths, establish goals, and plan their future education and careers. Life Skills and Keys to Academic Success courses meet the needs of students of all ages and at all life stages. Using a variety of self-exploration exercises, adult development theory, written assignments, vocational assessments, and research about specific occupations, students learn how their personal characteristics relate to different educational and work environments.
