NACE Career Readiness Competencies

Here are three steps you can take as a Duke to get career-ready:
- Collaborate with others on a class project
- Attend workshops focused on teamwork, leadership, and interpersonal skills to gain valuable insights and strategies for effective collaboration
- Learn about the importance of teamwork in professional settings
