It is very necessary to teach work ethic skills in the collages. I think it is a very good thing,and it has its advantages when entering the work field. It helps the students practice what they will be doing on the jobs. Like getting to work on time,"attendance" if your late to a job that really looks bad. You should also learn how to build your character it is important,with showing who you are. When in collage i feel like all of these work ethics should be practiced. Apperiance,and attitude show your profesional,and ready to be productive when working. These are very good skills to learn,and i think it should be taught in school.

I believe it is important to teach ethics in colleges because it better prepares students for the “real world”. I think it should be a requirement so that it shows up a transcript to show employers who can be on time and respectful and such. Knowing from experience, employers are looking for people who can get the job done on time, correct, and have respect for themselves and everyone around them. In my situation I held respect and ethics above a degree. When people would come to me looking for work I would hire them based on whether they had the ethics I was looking for. I didn’t care about a degree, as long as they could get the job done and have good ethics.

I believe it is really important for a college to teach ethics to its students. I really think ethics should be learned a lot earlier though. We should be teaching ethics to our children at early ages. You are teaching ethics to children when you teach them to respect themselves and others, to complete tasks that are given to them and just dressing themselves and teaching person hygiene. I believe it all starts at home with the parents so by the time they get to college they basically know what they are suppose to do and how they should act.
Leona(SWGATC)It is very necessary to teach work ethics at South West Georgia Technical College. Some people do not know what work ethics are and need to learn what work ethics actually consists of. It teaches you what it means and how to utilize it to its full advantage and apply it to your everyday life. It is important to apply in your life, at home with family, at work at church and many other places. Learning work ethics really shows you how to be cooperative and how to compromise with the public and any situation that arises. Working with others can be difficult, but attending college and working towards a diploma or a degree in your career can really give you the experience needed to succeed in anything that you do.
