The need for 21st Century Skills is evident in today’s workforce the world over. While many in the workforce may have the theoretical and academic knowledge, they lack certain skill sets that allow them to put that theory into practice. At the collegiate level, graduates are leaving the academic arena unprepared for many of the challenges their new career will pose.
By teaching soft skills (problem solving, critical thinking, teamwork, conflict resolution, and communication) through a blended learning and applied methodology, participants will have the opportunity to not only put the theoretical knowledge they have learned into practice but will also be doing this while developing workforce-readiness skills employers are desperately seeking.
This program utilizes an applied project framework that will encourage participants to use these skills practically in an authentic work environment to necessitate line of sight changes. Using these skills as tools through this framework will assist participants in honing their abilities while changing patterns in their workplace behavior.
The 21st Century Skills Certification program is focused on the following areas:
Upon completion of this certification program, participants will be able to:
The program is organized implementing a blended-learning format. It includes the following learning activities:
This program is available to all industry professionals who are looking to improve their workforce skills. While this program is designed to promote skills development in a simulated environment, participants will need to practice these skills in an authentic working environment in order to complete their applied project.
For participants in this program to effectively learn, retain, and apply the concepts in the workshop sessions and assignments, English will need to be used as the primary language for both verbal and written communication. Participants in this program should have an English proficiency equal to that of a CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) level of B1 or higher.
The Ho Chi Minh City workshop will take place at the ASU RO Training Room at Cao Thang Technical College, District 1.
