What it means to be job ready
As much of our future work will be performed in the digital sphere, it’s becoming increasingly important to develop skills in Information Technology, including various software programs, platforms and operating systems. However, Angela has observed that many IT students often fail to recognise the real value of developing professional skills, including coding languages, for their career prospects.
Angela’s goal is to raise awareness about the importance of soft skills as valuable and desirable qualities when selecting candidates for job positions. Understanding how to be an effective team player, reliable, share your perspective, collaborate and influence others to embrace ideas, and developing these skills for the real world is now more critical than ever.
An expert in her field, Angela helps academics teach students how to identify their Professional Purpose, ensuring that their study and career choices align with their genuine interests as an individual.
