Join us for an opportunity to learn more about the impact of non-academic skills, and how they have a direct impact on students’ academic and post-secondary success.
This free workshop will demonstrate the positive effects of career-ready skills including sustaining effort, self-management, making responsible decisions, social awareness, and self-management, (often called social emotional skills) and how they directly impact student academics.
