Career Skills:
Can you give this
extra advantage to students?
Imagine this…two employees or job candidates have
similar experience, foundational skills, and
job-specific knowledge - yet one is hired or
promoted over the other. It happens every day – and
more often than not soft skills play an important
role. KeyTrain’s Career
Skills are designed to teach the soft skills needed
to excel in the workplace. The curriculum includes
two hundred online lessons in five areas: Work
Habits, Communication Skills, Workplace
Effectiveness, Business Etiquette and the Job
Search.
If your organization has a KeyTrain site license,
Career Skills may be added for a one-time fee of
$1,500 (a lesser fee for satellite sites). For more information or a demo of Career
Skills, email:
