Week 2 Assignment
Your future is important to us. That’s why Strayer partnered with top employers, business leaders, and recruiters to identify 10 Skills that are critical to performing your best—not just in one field, but across all industries. These are skills that will prepare you for the needs of any future employer and set you up for success in a world that is constantly evolving.
For this assignment, you will have an opportunity to practice communicating the value and impact of two of the 10 Skills in your career/industry. You will build greater self and social awareness as you consider which skills reflect your existing strengths and the value of those skills in different contexts. Examining these skills can help you leverage them in your professional and personal pursuits. Clearly communicating why these skills are of value will increase your chances of success in showcasing your strengths in future interviews. You will be more likely to land new opportunities and set the stage for additional opportunities in the future, and you will be able to future-proof yourself against a changing landscape of work that will include automation, new ways of working, and new career fields.
