Student Engagement
Career Readiness
Students can read the chapters, watch the videos, and go through the Quizlet questions. None of that matters if students can’t showcase what they know.
This session will help educators identify ways to further develop soft skills in their course curriculum. Whether your course is big, small, synchronous, or asynchronous, this session will help you connect your lessons to real-world skills that guide students toward true career readiness.
By engaging in this webinar, you’ll be able to:
Better understand why soft skills erode before your students get into class
Build spaces where students can practice, apply, revisit, and refine soft skills in ways educators can confidently assess
Incorporate soft skills practice into class curriculum without adding more to an already packed agenda
Help students master essential soft skills so they can thrive in competitive work environments.
