Are your students and your school benefitting financially from the relationships with your employers? From numerous Advisory Board meetings, we have gathered requests of our employers in order to best fill their job requirements. Their “essential needs” input is heavily weighted on the people-skills abilities of our students rather than their technical skills. It makes sense. At the heart of student success is the ability of faculty and staff to connect and engage our students and that releases their potential to learn and acquire technical skills. At the heart of job placement success is the ability of our graduates to possess the required technical skills, but leverage their people skills to conduct themselves in a world with co-workers and customers. We are in the people skills business as much as we are in the technical education business. Come and see how much ($) that relationship is worth to your employers.
