Employability Skills - 10 Session Course
Employability skills are the non-technical skills, often referred to as “soft skills.” Career Support Services staff work with our students on developing soft skills such as communication, self-management, planning, decision making, and problem solving. Our employability classes help our students understand the skills that are highly valued by employers and industry as well as allow for practice of such skills.
