Interpersonal Skills
Teamwork, communication, and digital literacy development are important to produce students who can advocate for themselves and be productive in the workplace. Students who identify and rely on their support systems tend to have more positive postsecondary outcomes.
Career Knowledge
Through understanding the characteristics of various careers and the training necessary to develop as a professional, students can begin to build their pathway to a meaningful career based on strengths and interests.
College Knowledge
Postsecondary awareness, or "college knowledge," incorporates all the skills needed to identify the postsecondary training that is a right fit for students, as well as the characteristics of the institutions providing best-fit education to help students achieve their career goals.
Transition Skills
Transitions are a part of life as a student, from elementary school through career placement. Building coping skills around transitions from elementary to middle school to high school, then to independent life can help students successfully adapt to new situations.
