SKILLS FOR SUCCESS IN WORK

By: Dr. Steve Ingham
"I knew I had to think and act differently in work, but I had no idea just how much so and where to start. This course shows you how to start work with confidence."
As you start work there are some core skills that you need to know about, what employers will expect of you, how to work with your manager, your colleagues and to develop your working effectiveness to ensure long term success.
This course will provide you with the skills employers in applied science expect graduates like you to have but so few do. Now you can get ahead in work.
Course Overview
If you’re like most students graduating from an undergraduate or postgraduate degree you’ll come armed with a host of skills and a bucket load of knowledge. The challenge facing you is HOW will you put this to good use in work. The skills of processing information for an essay, exam or dissertation project hone certain skills in scoping, evaluating and processing information – you get good at developing a certain style of scientific method. This is a great starting point. However, working in applied science organisations or applying your work to paying clients requires a whole set of unique skills often unspoken of in your academic training.
The skills that will enable you to be successful in applied science industries and consultancy are DIFFERENT! Why are they different? Because they’re working skills – not studying skills, not passing exams skills, not getting good grades skills. Makes sense right?
