Communication is a foundational skill for success in every career and community setting. This module helps students develop purposeful speaking and active listening strategies that support clear expression, collaboration, and mutual understanding. By integrating the SBCSS Employability Skills into classroom instruction, educators can guide students in strengthening their ability to communicate with confidence, empathy, and professionalism.

Aligned to California’s Career Ready Practices, this content supports the development of transferable communication skills through interactive presentations, real-world scenarios, and career-connected activities. Students will explore how effective communication influences teamwork, leadership, and job readiness, document their learning in a career portfolio, and practice sharing their ideas in preparation for future interviews and workplace interactions.

This page includes a teacher guide, student resources, and all necessary links to help implement the Communication module, equipping students to connect, collaborate, and lead with purpose in school, work, and life.

The teacher guide, presentations, and worksheets have been adapted from Oregon Employability Skills and tailored to meet the needs of our region.
