Framework Integration ToolKit: Essential Elements Definitions and Behaviors
The SkillsUSA Framework Integration Toolkit has everything you need to ensure career readiness in your classroom, training program and chapter. Each Essential Element under the three components of Personal Skills, Workplace Skills and Technical Skills Grounded in Academics is defined, including the behaviors associated with that Element. By talking with your students about the Essential Elements of the Framework, they’ll begin to develop a language to talk about the skills they are learning. Professional members can access the Toolkit in SkillsUSA Absorb.
