  1. Career & Self-Development
  2. Communication
  3. Critical Thinking
  4. Equity & Inclusion
  5. Leadership
  6. Professionalism
  7. Teamwork
  8. Technology


During the summer, we encourage you to explore the NACE Career Readiness Competencies and understand how they can be showcased. The CoB Professional Development and Engagement Office eagerly anticipates maintaining and developing programming that aligns strategically with these competencies.
