Career-Ready with Confidence: Strengthening Human Skills Through Workplace Simulation

Date, Time, and Logistics

Thursday June 12, 2025
12:00 – 1:00 PM ET

Session Overview

While technical skills and operational acumen remain important, employers consistently point to a critical need in the area of human skills—communication, collaboration, adaptability, and critical thinking. These are the skills we know are vital for workplace performance and long-term career success!

This webinar will introduce you to CareerForce, an innovative virtual simulation designed to empower post-secondary students and early career talent to develop, hone, and strengthen these skills through realistic and common workplace scenarios.

Whether you're:

• an employer looking for tools to enhance your onboarding, professional skills, or leadership development offerings
• a career educator seeking inclusive and scalable ways for students to practice, apply, and showcase these skills to potential employers
• a student success professional exploring asynchronous virtual solutions for integrating human skill development into curriculum, micro credentials, or co-curricular programming

CareerForce can support your goals! Join us to learn more about the power of simulation in supporting human skills development, have a behind-the-scenes look at the learning theory and strategy that inform each of the three levels of the simulation, and get a peek at CareerForce in action. Register today!
