NACE Career Readiness Competency - Communication
The National Association of Colleges and Employers developed the list of competencies that illustrate whether someone is career ready. The competencies illustrate different aspects of ourselves that need focus as we become professionals and maintain a professional career. The competencies are very intertwined, but they each have their own individual characteristics.
In this episode, we're going to focus on competency communication. My guest for this episode is Erin Pederson. Erin is one of my colleagues in the Office of Career Development, and I enjoyed discussing this topic with her because she has a wealth of experience and teaching communication. Throughout our conversation, you will hear us discuss communication as a topic skill, and we share a few specific tactics for students to employ that will help develop communication skills. Please see below for several resources mentioned in the episode.
