You'll also have opportunities throughout the school year to take a personalized assessment looking at your proficiency in each of the eight (8) competencies identified by employers as "highly desireable". Using those results, we will work with you to develop a customized professional development plan designed to meet your career-readiness goals. These surveys also ask for feedback from an external evaluator like a supervisor, manager, instructor, coach, or other professional connection. The assements take about 10 minutes to complete and are offered during the following time frames:
- At the start of the school year
- The last three weeks of the Fall Semester
- The last three weeks of the Spring Semester
