A Delphi Study of Entry-Level Workplace Skills, Competencies, and Proof-of-Achievement Products.

Wilhelm, William J.

Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, v41 n2 p105-22 Spr 1999

A Delphi panel of 24 hiring managers, human resource specialists, business owners, and cooperative educators ranked entry-level skills and acceptable proofs of proficiency. Highest-rated skills involved interpersonal relationships. Traditional proofs (resumes, transcripts, references, testing) remained important. Nontraditional proofs demonstrating higher-order thinking skills were being used. (SK)
