Workplace Readiness? Gaps in critical thinking skills of early career professionals
Speakers
Marisol Hernandez, Memorial Sloan Cancer Center
Dawn Hoffman, Global Strategy Group
Jeffrey Holmes, Woods Bagot
Brendan Molloy, KPMG
Kate Wittenberg, Portico

The “Workplace Readiness?” session, sponsored by the City University of New York’s Library Information Literacy Advisory Committee (LILAC) and Gale, a Cengage Learning Company, will be a chance for librarians and other faculty as well as career development professionals to hear from employers how well we are doing in preparing early career professionals with the critical thinking skills they need to succeed in the workforce. Representatives from various fields will be invited to speak with an audience of librarians, subject faculty, and CUNY career development specialists.

Speakers will address gaps they see in employee preparation and the skills needed to thrive in the workplace. The program will provide ample opportunity for discussion about how to close the gaps. Participants will take away a broader understanding of the requirements for success in the 21st Century workforce, as well as suggested strategies and tactics for how better to prepare students for their lives beyond academia.

Friday, April 27, 2012, 9am, Room L2.84
John Jay College of Criminal Justice

  1. hi Kathleen:
    yes! We hope to add a video of the presentations, but that is taking a little longer to get up that we had expected. Perhaps in about a month’s time we will have it. A text report will be up soon. Ellen S.

  2. Will there be a report on the content of the presentations and discussions of the meeting? Minutes of any sort?

    Thank you.
