Since the inception of career education, it seems employers have consistently claimed that students lack so-called soft skills. Although there's no universal agreement on what to call them, the term represents a set of skills (including things such as teamwork and communication skills) regarded as essential for long-term success in the workforce. ACCSC refers to these types of skills as essential workforce skills. This course will help institutions adopt a framework for high-quality career education programs, holistically integrate essential workforce skills into their programs, enhance students' development and demonstration of them, and prepare to achieve Essential Workforce Skills (EWS) Programmatic Certification.
