What you’ll learn to do: Discuss how to gain skills necessary for professional life
There is no doubt that a huge percent of life is spent at work. If you were to work forty hours a week and live to seventy years old, thirty-five percent of total waking hours of your life would be spent at work. [1] Considering how much time is spent in a work environment, you want to be sure you have the right skills and mindset to make the difference between “going to work” and “having a career.” This module discusses ways to develop and demonstrate skills for an enjoyable career. To start the discussion, the module examines career skills, transferable skills, and new skills to be acquired.
