of the contemporary world. The following literature review, first of all, investigates various aspects of how education relates to workplace preparedness. Then, in the second part of this review,
a more focused look, which examines specifically the workplace environment of the Girl Scout Camp, suggests the wide-ranging applicability of workplace factors. Part 1 Workplace learning & skills needed for
