Competencies
Career readiness is imperative to ensuring a successful transition from graduate school into the work environment. The best way to establish a pathway to a rewarding career is to develop the competencies employers are seeking in their new hires. Below are the core competencies the Professional Development Team has identified through a review of research by the National Association of College and Employers (NACE) and discussions with our partners. Professional development programs offered through The Graduate School focus on the following competencies to help our graduate students cultivate the talents, skills and strengths that will prepare them for a variety of positions and job functions.
These competencies are developed through the non-credit certificates in Career Readiness, Leadership, Teaching, and Writing the Professional Development team offers. Sign up here to indicate your intent to pursue one or more of our professional development certificates. Please note: If you wish to sign up for more than one certificate, you will have to fill out a separate form for each certificate you wish to pursue.
