Critical Thinking - #4
NACE Career Readiness Competencies
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, critical thinking is "identifying and responding to needs based upon an understanding of situational context and logical analysis of relevant information." Here are three steps you can take as a Duke to get career-ready:
- Develop the habit of asking insightful questions. Encourage curiosity and seek to understand different perspectives.
-
Familiarize yourself with critical thinking tools and frameworks, such as the Socratic method, SWOT analysis, or the RED model (Recognize, Evaluate, Decide).
-
Regularly reflect on your thought processes and decision-making. Consider what worked well and what could be improved.
To find out more about the programming offered by the CoB Professional Development and Engagement that are strategically aligned with the NACE Career Readiness Competencies, CLICK HERE.
