Work Ethics Curriculum
West Georgia Technical College, as part of its educational experience,
teaches Work Ethics as an integral part of its curriculum. Ten
areas of work ethics topics are covered that are used to teach
the DTAE work ethics program in the classroom. Materials used for
achieving our goal of having our graduates demonstrate appropriate
work ethic behaviors in the workplace are included in classes such
as in lecture material and activities that are used by instructors
to deliver this curriculum to the student. Many of these activities
have also been adapted by our online instructors for use with online
courses. This information is available in a manual for use by instructors
in delivering the work ethics curriculums.
The following ten topics have been identified as essential work
ethics that should be taught and practiced in order to develop
a viable and effective workforce. These ten work ethics traits
stated below have been expanded to cover traits that should be
taught and evaluated in online courses.
Attendance (Punctuality)
Character
Teamwork
Appearance

Productivity
Organizational Skills
Communication
Cooperation
Respect
Three primary results of the Work Ethics Program make it a winning
proposition for all concerned.
These results are:
• Students begin employment with positive
work ethic skills, which will enhance their value as employees.
• Instructors develop more motivated and attentive students.
