The Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills is proud to offer resources to prepare UConn students to enter and thrive in either the workforce or other post-graduation endeavors. Our goal is to provide students with necessary skills, knowledge, and experiences to be career-ready upon graduation. Employers continue to place value on soft skills such as adaptability, teamwork, and problem-solving, in addition to technical skills. As employers’ needs evolve, we want to ensure that students have the tools they need to grow and feel confident to succeed. With a specific focus on the life skills of creativity, emotional intelligence, entrepreneurship, financial literacy and innovation, students can navigate personal and professional challenges more effectively.
