There are ten modules within the Workplace Excellence Series – each designed to help students understand and be able to deliver what an employer really needs in today’s workforce. Each module teaches KACC students from the employer’s perspective, allowing them an opportunity to develop practical skills in addition to their technical and academic skills.
The Career Services Department has wrapped their arms around this fabulous program and will be working with individual members of faculty and our students to ensure students are engaged and learning this oh, so important soft skills.
