In the 21st Century, it is more important than ever for individuals to develop career skills during their educational journey in order to ensure career success after graduation. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) defines these essential skills in eight specific career skills. These skills include Critical Thinking, Communication, Teamwork, Technology, Leadership, Professionalism, Career & Self-Development, and Engagement Across Perspectives. Employers highly value these career skills across all industries and are specifically looking for candidates who gained them during their college experience.
