Description

The research on college and career competencies, which is discussed in the specific competency lessons, consistently supports two key points. First, intra- and interpersonal competencies contribute to improved post-school outcomes. Second, to be effective, the competencies must be integrated systematically on a universal basis. For that reason, the overall focus of this training is on helping educators embed intra- and interpersonal competencies into course content.
