Career Readiness: Professional Skills Development Workshop

​Professional skills, or soft skills, play a huge part in career growth and workplace efficiency. This session highlights how students can make the most of their time and resources, utilize their own unique background and experiences, and build the professional and problem solving skills that matter in any field.

​By blending storytelling with actionable steps, this session hopes to encourage students to define their interests — and take intentional steps toward them.
