What Employers Are Looking For
One of the key strengths of a Bachelor's Degree is the breadth of your skills and experience.
Your degree is designed, in part, to prepare you for jobs that don't yet exist and so that you can be adaptable as the job market shifts with new technologies and changes. It isn't all about acquiring hands-on skills, but also the continual development of non-technical competencies that develop your career and you as an individual. Some of the top skills you're developing and that translate directly to employable traits are included below:
