Do you have the soft skills employers are looking for?
In a Michigan State University study, students and employers were tasked to rank skill type by importance. While students felt industry knowledge was most important - employers ranked soft skills as the most important factor when hiring new graduates.
The Rising Leader Program was built specifically for college students and recent graduates who are ready to learn and refine the seven soft skills that will improve their performance and foster career advancement.
The Rising Leader Program is modeled on the same training and strategies we teach to Fortune 500 companies including Honeywell, Johnson & Johnson, and Microsoft.
Greg Zlevor is the President and Founder of Westwood International. He has over 25 years of experience in executive leadership development and education and has served as a coach, consultant, and facilitator for companies across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, and Australia.
Under Greg’s leadership, Westwood International has made it its mission to give back, supporting not-for-profit organizations that help homeless children and at-risk youth across the United States, Mexico, Thailand, India, and South America.
