WORKPLACE READINESS
College graduations come to the workforce with great GPAs and academic models and theories. Yes, some excel in corporate spaces, but many lack the durable skills and cultural competence to navigate workforce dynamics. According to the ASHE Monograph, many institutions lack intentional and explicit programming to address cultural competence. There are often gaps between students' perceived learning and what employers observe as actual learning.
THE LEARNING SOLUTION
To build the durable skills needed for the workforce, the Learning Edge offers two options:
-
Tailored Cultural Competence Training
-
Tailored DiSC Workshops
CULTURAL COMPETENCE
Some students are fortunate to travel abroad, participate in service days, and engage in internships that provide the cultural refinement needed to confidently navigate today’s corporate spaces. Unfortunately, many do not have these opportunities and find themselves ill-equipped to work effectively with others who are different, think differently, and bring unique perspectives. In these environments, employers are less impressed by a student’s GPA and more focused on their ability to solve problems, establish rapport, build connections, and demonstrate the self-awareness needed to manage themselves and others. Let's connect to design a custom solution for your students.
THE DiSC EXPERIENCE
The more college graduates understand themselves, the better equipped they are to relate to and respond to others. A significant portion of workplace conflict stems from misunderstandings and a failure to truly meet others where they are. In the timeless words of Stephen Covey, many leaders and team members fail to “seek first to understand, then to be understood.” Click this link to learn more about DiSC or contact us directly to discuss how your institution can further differentiate your graduates from others.
