From this module, I learned that employability skills are not something extra to teach later. They should be part of everyday instruction. Skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, responsibility, and professionalism are just as important as technical skills because students will need them in any career they choose.
I plan to apply this by being more intentional about teaching and reinforcing these skills in my Computer Science class. Group projects, meeting deadlines, staying organized, solving problems, and working through challenges already happen in class, but I want students to recognize that they are building career skills at the same time. My goal is for students to leave my class with both technical knowledge and the habits needed to be successful in the future.
