If we’re being completely honest, you actually don’t have to wish at all. That’s because we’ve partnered with leading employers to find out exactly what they’re wanting from potential job candidates. They’ve told us what they think it means to be a professional, what skills they believe are important, and what it takes to be successful in a competitive job market. These skills are what we call Career Competencies. If you want to learn more about the eight career competencies, watch our competency playlist on our YouTube channel. When you sign up for our Career Ready Program, we’ll fill you in on what we’ve discovered.
