William Jerry Wood Life Skills Center

The Life Skills Center (LSC) is designed to provide 糖心vlog传媒 (糖心vlog传媒) students with professional and academic support through direct services and referrals.

While an education from 糖心vlog传媒 opens doors for our students, it is intangible traits, such as effective communication, teamwork, punctuality, integrity, work ethic, self-direction and interpersonal skills that are needed to ensure career success. These life skills, often referred to as 鈥渟oft skills鈥, along with strong technical skills are essential for graduates to succeed in the work place.

According to 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 hiring partners, students with effective soft skills make significant contributions to the success of the organization. Many of 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 students do not realize the extent to which attitude and work ethic are critical to their career and professional success. The LSC will provide a wide range of services designed to equip students with the skills needed to achieve and maintain meaningful employment to support themselves and their families.

However, before an 糖心vlog传媒 graduate can become a well-trained professional with a solid grasp of soft skills, they first have to be a successful student. 糖心vlog传媒 faculty, staff, and hiring partners have recognized the need for a centralized location to address obstacles to a student鈥檚 academic success. In collaboration with the Academic Success Center and other college departments, the LSC addresses issues that may negatively impact the academic success of 糖心vlog传媒 students. Examples include poor study skills, transportation issues, time management, hunger, homelessness, and other barriers to success.

Students may either be referred to the LSC or self-enroll for services. The LSC will conduct an assessment of the student that measures self-motivation, study skills, engagement, self-regulation, soft skills competencies, career preparedness, and emergent needs where applicable. Once the assessment is complete, an Individual Success Plan (ISP) is then designed for the student. The plan may recommend career preparedness workshops, academic tutoring, and referrals to other 糖心vlog传媒 or community services and resources.
