Project Upskill
Upskill your soft skills
Project Overview
A soft skill gap is growing between college grads and future employers, disproportionality affecting first-generation college students. We aim to close this gap by providing 2 workshops organizations like yours 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.
Key features
Currently, Project Upskill provides two workshops: a LinkedIn Personal Branding Workshop and a Networking Workshop. Each workshop includes:
- A completed slide deck that can be edited for your organization
- Speaker notes which can also be used for students who would like to complete the workshop individually
We are only in phase 1 of developing this project, which means that there are more workshops and learning opportunities to come!
