We know you know the importance of excelling with your academics, those are the "hard skills." The training, education and knowledge within an industry, but that isn't the only thing you will gain through your time here at NC. We focus in on understanding the importance of soft skills, what they are and how employers look for them when hiring. From communication to positive outlook - soft skills are what can push you forward to being the selected candidate for the job!
One of the biggest aspects about soft skills is understanding what they are so that you can start to be aware of your experiences, what skills you are developing and speak on this and leverage it in an interview!

No matter where you are in your career planning cycle – your first job ever, your first professional job out of college, or an academic/career change in progress – preparing for a job can be exciting and slightly overwhelming. There are lots of great tips on preparing cover letters, resumes, practicing interview skills, and creating a social media presence. But, sometimes, it’s hard to know where to get started – particularly if you feel you don’t know what knowledge or skills you bring to the table, or where you ‘fit’ in in the world of work. The following strategies – 7 for Success – are designed to help you get started, find your fit, and take control of your career planning. Follow us on instagram at @getinvolvednc Have a question?

CSEL Host Sarah chats with NC counsellor Michell MacIntosh about KORU: a free 4-week mindfulness course for Niagara College students.This program was developed and researched by Duke University, the program helps students learn to live with less stress and to manage life more effectively. Each session teaches and provides time to practice both a skill and a meditation. Between classes, students are asked to practice for 10 minutes a day — research shows that mindfulness and meditation are extremely successful when they are actually applied. Students will receive access to the KORU app, which provides an easy guide for daily practice, and they will receive feedback and support from the facilitator through the app.
Want to get involved? E-mail Michelle at mmacintosh@niagaracollege.ca with the subject "Sign me up for KORU"
