Preparing Students for Digital Era Careers
Stange, Melissa
Inquiry, v23 n1 Article 13 Aug 2020
This paper will discuss why technical skills alone will not be enough for students to have successful careers in the digital age. Much of their success will hinge on critical soft skills, such as adaptability, inner strength, holistic thinking, and a collaborative spirit. Examples will be provided for inclusion with a computer science program, but in a way that is easily adaptable to other disciplines.
