At a conference on innovative teaching and learning, I attended a memorable panel conversation about the skills that students should develop by the time they start college or enter a career. The panel was made up of men and women who headed large and small businesses, and the skills they wanted incoming employees to have were:
- Communication for internal and external clients
- Empathy
- Collaboration
- Problem solving
- Initiative
- Strong work ethic
