This career major is designed to be delivered as an integrated component within the courses taken by the individual student. It is designed for the development of leadership, personal development and employability skills to help the student transition into the work-site experience, which is the primary method used for broadening the learner’s skills and increasing effectiveness and productivity. It is particularly appropriate for developing proficiency skills unique to a given occupation – especially occupations that require locally owned equipment and facilities. Theory-based instruction builds upon the knowledge and skills developed in the Workforce Staging course.
