Employer Testimonials“One of the things industry has
been stressing to schools is the
importance of these factors as
differentiators.”
“These competencies are the
primary characteristics we are
looking for; technical abilities are
assumed and secondary.”
“These are very important. I look
for all six of these traits when I
meet and interview students.”
