Career Stories Foster Skill & Competency Growth

Critical skills and competencies can impact a person’s ability to obtain employment and to move along their pathway to their career objective. These sorts of qualities have been termed and referred to by many words. They have been referred to as “soft skills,” “people skills,” “interpersonal skills,” “transferable work skills,” “employability skills,” and more. “Employability skills” are challenging to assess, as they are not as straightforward as “hard skills,” but they are essential to recognize, nurture, and develop. Informational interviewing is an excellent way to gain insight into the qualities and skills that future employers and supervisors may desire. Introducing students to various employability skills and fostering the growth of competencies is valuable and can be brought into middle and high school core subject curricula.
