Employers who hire new college graduates have identified eight core skills that are critical to students’ success both in the job search and the workplace. These Career Readiness Competencies were developed through a collaboration of employers, university career centers and the National Association of Colleges & Employers.
Students should seek opportunities such as classes, activities and internships to develop these skills, knowledge, and professional behaviors. Building these Career Readiness Competencies will equip students to transition successfully from college into the workplace and navigate their careers over time.Â
Additional information, including specific examples, can be found on the Career Readiness section of the NACE website.
