TRANSFERABLE SKILLS SURVEY

As your work to become college and career ready, it is important that you know your own qualifications. Over the years you have developed many skills from coursework, extracurricular activities and your total life experiences.
If you’ve researched topics, written, edited and presented papers for classes, you’ve used skills which are not limited to any one academic discipline or knowledge area but are transferable to many occupations.
A prospective employer expects you to be able to apply the skills you have learned in college to the work environment.
