Project poster

A soft skill gap is growing between college grads and future employers, disproportionately affecting first-generation college students. We aim to close this gap by providing two workshops student organizations can use targeting key areas in supporting the growth of student's soft skills. Each workshop can be completed individually or through a cohort and includes pre- and post-lesson exercises, written instructions to complete the lesson, a slide deck, and more.
