Workplace Skills

While we hope that students come in ready with the Foundational Skills they need for the college experience, we recognize that they often don’t and we provide a number of interventions to help, such as College Skills course, Skillshops, and more. The Collegiate Skills represent the general education courses students enrolled in associate degree programs take in English, math, science, social sciences, and the humanities that help students become well-rounded, educated individuals ready for a lifetime of engagement in their communities, further education, and careers. The Technical Skills are those skills they gain in their program of study, or major – everything from computer programming to medical assisting. The Workplace Skills, then, provide universal, transferable skills needed by everyone to be effective in the modern workplace, no matter what position they hold or what sector they work in. These are skills that employers routinely seek and that help employees progress in their careers over time.
