Maryland Career Development Association: Prominent Soft Skills for the Future of Learning and Work

Prominent Soft Skills for the Future of Learning and Work

Presented by Lawrese Brown

• Thursday, October 28, 2021  |  1:00 - 2:00 pm

  Via Zoom

  High school and college graduates are not prepared to enter the workforce. Why? Because they have not been taught or been able to develop soft skills - the intangible but impactful abilities that allow an individual to execute effectively in today's collaborative and distributed workplace.

  Participants will learn:

  --> A framework that will clearly connect the skills students learn at school with what skills they'll need for the job

  --> How important "attitude" is to securing and succeeding in the workplace and how students can demonstrate a "can-do" attitude to prospective employers during networking and interviews

  --> What the trends "skills not school" really means for today's graduates

• PLEASE NOTE: No CEUs will be given for this presentation.
