Work Ethic
BRIEF SUMMARY
People who possess a strong work ethic embody certain principles that guide their work behavior, leading them to produce high-quality work consistently and the output motivates them to stay on track. Employers want to work with people who have a strong work ethic. Those who possess this trait are better employees who get the job done, no matter what. They often require less oversight on daily activities and managers are able to rely upon them to complete bigger tasks.

It is designed to encourage students to meet the benchmarks that will assist them in their college or career goals.
