Do You Want to Enhance Your Academic Performance and Develop Skills for Future Career Success?
Did you know that:
- Only about 40% of students who enroll in a public, four-year institution graduate within four years, and only about 59% graduate within six years (U.S. Department of Education, 2015)
- 80% of employers look for evidence of leadership skills when evaluating potential employees? (National Association of Colleges and Employers, 2017)
- 77% of 2,000 human resources specialists ranked soft skills as important as hard skills? (CareerBuilder, 2014)
- 92% of 500 senior executives reported skills deficits in new hires, and 44% reported lack of soft skills? (Adecco Staffing, 2013)
Successful students and successful employees have something in common: a well-developed skill set that goes beyond book smarts. The skills needed for success in the classroom and on the job can be honed with deliberate effort and the right resources.
Academic success skills—note-taking, reading for understanding, preparing for and taking exams, using resources such as advisors and academic coaches, participating in experiential education opportunities—enable students to perform at the level of their academic ability.
Soft skills—communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, time management, ability to work on a team, strong work ethic, and professionalism—underpin academic and career success. Leadership—influencing people to achieve common goals—is the key to personal and shared success.
Success Skills: For High School, College, and Career provides step-by-step guidelines and hands-on exercises to enable students to enhance their academic performance and prepare for future career success.
This course helps students construct realistic expectations for achieving success, develop self-awareness, build a future-oriented attitude, and improve their academic success skills, leadership skills, and soft skills.
