Virginia businesses identified 21 skills that all high school graduates should have in order to thrive in the workplace.  As Norfolk Public Schools works in tandem with the business community, these skills will be imparted and cultivated through hands-on and traditional classroom experiences.  The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) adopted these this list in April 2010.  For more information or to download flyers, click here. http://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/career_technical/workplace_readiness/index.shtml.
