, Strategically Engage by Building Your Industry-Specific Skillsets

I know that workplace skills are the common denominator of a career path. Companies focus on future employees’ skill sets, as seen in their job descriptions and heard in interview conversations.

Utilizing the resources provided by the School of Business is a strategic way to develop industry-specific and technical skills outside the classroom to ignite and enhance your career trajectory through the experiences you engage in as an undergrad.

It may seem daunting at first; however, as you take the initial steps, you will begin to build momentum that will give you the confidence to differentiate yourself as a competitive candidate in any job market.

I am sharing three industry skill-building tools we have curated for you to explore and build your brand.

Try them; I am right here cheering you on.
