What’s Next?
• Identify key “soft skills” and build experiences and opportunities for students to develop those skills.
• Outreach to industry. Are these data consistent with their experiences with our graduates?
• Create a resource for students to explore connections between curricular/co-curricular experiences and careers.
• Helping industry identify students demonstrating a curricular/co-curricular “trajectory” consistent with successful employment in their organization.
