Focus On Career Readiness While At College
2

• Being career ready means having skills that
  broadly prepare you to transition from being a
  college student to being an employee, manager, or
  entrepreneur. You will learn these skills during
  your time in school. Being career ready also
  means you can demonstrate these skills when you
  start a job. Learning marketable skills will help
  you find and keep a job and build a career once
  you graduate!

Hard Skills

• These skills are domain specific and usually
  measurable skills that are needed to do a job.
  One will learn these skills for the future career
  during the graduation. Hard skills, for example,
  might include building websites, cooking for fine
  dining restaurants, performing statistical
  analysis, learning graphic design, mastering
  math, or understanding art restoration. These are
  also called technical or applied skills.

4
Soft Skills

• These skills are also known as transferable
  skills because you can transfer them to any job
  you have over the course of your career. You will
  learn these skills as you interact with teachers,
  course materials, and other students during your
  courses or through extracurricular activities.
  Soft skills, for example, might include
  listening, reasoning, professionalism, courtesy,
  punctuality, or public speaking.

You Have Many Career Options, But the Two
significant Conditions to Improve Your Chances of
Getting and Keeping a Job are cited below

• First, consider looking for a career that
  requires a very high level of skill or
  creativity, such as writing, designing, product
  development, market strategy, or financial
  planning. Employers are always looking for
  creative workers who can use their talents and
  technology to solve business problems and create
  opportunities.
• Second, you might consider learning a skilled
  trade, such as carpentry, nursing, or auto
  repair. For these careers, you must be physically
  present to provide service, and your required
  skills will be in high demand.

• Combining proximity with creativity in a career
  gives you added security Consider that some jobs
  that will exist in the future have not even been
  dreamed up yet! You might change the type of work
  you do over the course of your career. We all
  must be lifelong learners to stay competitive in
  the job market.
• When it comes to rating the career readiness of
  college graduates, there are differences in
  perception-in some cases, very marked
  ones-between students entering the job market and
  the employers that hire them.

There are eight competencies are identified as
constituting career.   They are

• Professionalism/Work Ethic
• Oral/Written Communications  
• Critical Thinking/Problem Solving             
• Teamwork/Collaboration            
• Leadership         
• Digital Technology          
• Career Management
• Global/Intercultural Fluency
• This can be problematic because it suggests that
  employers see skills gaps in key areas whereas
  college students believe that these gaps do not
  exist.

• Employers and graduating seniors differ greatly
  when it comes to rating proficiency in
  competencies such as professionalism/work ethic,
  oral/written communications, and leadership as
  students consider themselves much more proficient
  than the employers. The gap between the two
  groups ,according to a survey  seemed  greatest
  when it came to students professionalism and
  work ethic nearly 90percent of students
  considered themselves proficient in this area,
  but less than half of employers agreed.
• Ironically, the only competency that employers
  rated the proficiency of college graduates higher
  than did graduating seniors is digital
  technology. Employers also believe new hires are
  hitting the mark on teamwork more than
  three-quarters rated new graduates as proficient
  in this competency.
