Teaching Career Readiness Skills to College Students:

It's no secret that career readiness skills are crucial for building strong relationships, developing abilities for becoming a high-performing, productive employee, and, ultimately, for working with teams, and leading others. Yet, global studies and surveys consistently reveal that university graduates do not have these requisite skills when entering the workforce—and this lack of in-demand workforce skills is growing.

While most institutions offer a first-year student success course or co-curricular programs that may teach these skills, the instruction is often inadequate to help students confidently learn and apply them later in the workplace. And at the classroom level, most professors do not have the time or the resources to build a robust curriculum on their own to teach these skills. 

Hear from April Grudi of Indiana University, as she presents her approach to successfully addressing the career readiness gap by integrating FranklinCovey course content in the classroom.

At the end of the webcast, participants will be able to:

• Describe strategies to incorporate FranklinCovey content into a college-level course
• Explain ways to create actionable and meaningful assignments for students
• Compare these strategies with research-based, inclusive pedagogical course design
• Describe the impact of FranklinCovey content on Student First Destination results
