Leadership - #3

NACE Career Readiness Competencies


According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, "Recognize and capitalize on personal and team strengths to achieve organizational goals." Here are three steps you can take as a Duke to get career-ready:


  1. Take on a leadership role in a group or organization
  2. Motivate team members with a positive attitude and leverage their strengths when delegating work
  3. Demonstrate initiative at your job or group work by taking on additional responsibilities
