1. Welcome
After reading the following description of a proposed new offering for Pearson please answer the following questions:
When looking to hire the best students coming out of Universities, for full-time positions or even internships, various factors come into play. One criteria is G.P.A. which reflects a student’s capabilities with accounting coursework, but another important criteria to the hiring decision - soft skills, is not necessarily reflected in a student’s G.P.A. Some examples of soft skills (we recognize that our list is not all inclusive) are:
***Ability to work in a team environment
***Leadership
***Critical thinking
***Problem solving
***Communication (written and verbal)
***Time management
Companies want students who are not only bright but who possess the soft skills necessary to succeed in the workplace environment.....
We are proposing a new program that will enable students to complete an online assessment of their soft skills which will result in a score that can be used to help differentiate potential hiring candidates.
In order for this system to be successful we need your help, so please answer the following questions:
