Defining essential workforce skills in a way that is actionable versus something more ambiguous is a concept I had not considered. I have a difficult time getting my students to see the value in developing these skills, as the lesson pointed out, students often see non-technical skills as "fluff." Moving forward, I think we will revisit how we define esstential workforce skills and work to incorporate self-reflection activities more intentionally throughout our programs.
Applying EWS shall be challenging in many ways. For example, incorporating value and the understanding that concrete skills are different from ambiguous skills as they relate to a workforce environment. The known and the unknown is the key to this interpretation and use.
