How to use the workplace problems task cards:
Give pairs of students a copy of the task cards and have them discuss and plan how they would solve each problem using employability skills. Encourage 'if, then' thinking strategies as well as considering more than one alternative to solve the problems. Ask students if they can think of more than one solution to each problem and share their ideas with another pair or group.
