Preparing Students for the World of Work: Integrating Career Skills into Your Courses

The changing workforce needs require an intentional integration of content knowledge and skill development as students proceed through their degree programs. Research shows that hiring managers struggle to find employees with in-demand skills, and only a third of post-secondary students in the US believe they will graduate with the competencies needed for career success. In this workshop, we will discuss how integrating career skills into courses helps students identify, practice, and communicate their skills to employers.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Discuss the changing needs of today’s workforce needs
  • Identify the hard and soft skills that you can build into your course content and activities
  • Advise students on how they can communicate their employable skills
