More on the skills colleges and employers want

At a conference on innovative teaching and learning, I attended a memorable panel conversation about the skills that students should develop by the time they start college or enter a career. The panel was made up of men and women who headed large and small businesses, and the skills they wanted incoming employees to have were:

• Communication for internal and external clients
• Empathy
• Collaboration
• Problem solving
• Initiative
• Strong work ethic

A good list. Skills that aren’t taught as much as they should be.
