Harnessing the Power of Durable Skills for Future Success
Description

Are you ready to equip your students with the skills that will make them indispensable in the job market?

The skills most in demand by employers today are the so-called "durable skills," such as critical thinking and effective communication. While these skills are highly sought after, they are also among the most challenging to teach and develop in a way that ensures long-term retention.

Join our live session to discover how Universidad de las Américas has developed a groundbreaking program aimed at making durable skills truly last through the creation of habits. We've partnered with Minerva University to create a methodology and approach for this initiative that is suitable for implementation in a medium size university.

We'll share our key learnings and main challenges: How can we ensure these skills effectively remain over time? What are the primary obstacles that students and educators face in this process? Together, we'll reflect on our journey, discussing both the constraints we've encountered and why this endeavor is undoubtedly worthwhile for preparing students for future success.
