NACE Career Readiness Competency- Self and Career Development
This episode is the first of eight in a series devoted to career readiness competencies.
In 2022, the result of many of years of work, The National Association of Colleges and Employers developed a list of competencies that illustrate whether someone is career ready. For more information on how they came up with their list of competencies, I have shared a link to their report in the show notes.
The competencies illustrate different aspects of ourselves that need focus as we become professionals and maintain a professional career. Each competency has its own individual characteristics but they are very intertwined. In the following series of episodes, we are going to take a closer look at the competencies individually.
In this episode, we are going to discuss the competency- Self- and Career Development. To aid in this discussion, I was lucky to have Dr. Gregory Peterson join me. He is currently a Professor of Philosophy and Religion and the Director of the Ethics lab here at South Dakota State University.
