Welcome to the resource site for Taking Charge: Your Education, Your Career, Your Life, written by Karen Mitchell Smith and published by TSTC Publishing (August 2008).
Typically, college success textbooks focus on traditional higher education academic skills: note taking, test strategies, and research. However, in response to the increasing trend—especially at two-year colleges—of students immediately entering the workforce upon graduation, Taking Charge directly contextualizes these academic skills with the soft skills necessary to succeed in the workplace.
In addition, all the subject areas covered in the book are related to personal growth so that students may see that these skills are not used in isolation but are, rather, an integral part of the ongoing development everyone experiences in his or her life.
