Workplace Communication & Teamwork

Looking for work? Needing more staff? Look no further as ākonga learn how to read and write job ads like a pro. Along the way, ākonga will learn about crucial communication, teamwork, and active listening skills required in the workplace - all key ingredients for landing (and keeping!) a great job.

What you’ll learn

Day One: Listen up! Because today ākonga will be learning and demonstrating their best active listening skills. Want to know more? No worries: questioning is great evidence of listening. Ākonga will also learn about common communication barriers faced in the workplace, and practical solutions for overcoming these. They will then utilise these new skills in teams, by working together to draft job adverts that clearly engage and communicate messages to teenage job seekers.  

Day Two: Replace that help-wanted sign, as today ākonga are making and presenting their job adverts. Prepare to see some shareable TikToks, signs, jingles, and social media posts. “Two words… sounds like…” Today ākonga will also learn the significance of non-verbal communication and reflect on how workplace communication situations they have experienced could have been more effective and efficient.
