Develop

Foster self-awareness & growth.

Help learners uncover areas of weakness and provide the individualized and actionable feedback needed to grow:

  • Self-assessment – each participant rates their perceived skill levels prior to the simulation experience.
  • Skill-gap analysis – each participant’s self-assessment is compared to their actual performance.
  • Developmental tactics – insights to improve each skill being assessed.
  • Individual development plan – guides participants through the creation of SMART goals and actionable next steps.

Review Publishing Options
“This tool is highly innovative and would benefit any organization. I have recently seen corporations begging for this type of soft skill development, and for college students to be able to learn these skills, it breaks the mold for business curriculums.”

I found this product to be interesting and a creative way to simulate the work environment. It is extremely important for students to develop the soft skills that employers want and this product offers the opportunity for users to practice and evaluate these skills through answering a series of emails. The self-assessment helps them pinpoint the areas that need additional work.

Overall, I think the product offers a lot of customization, flexibility, and innovation. The learning experiences are truly authentic to the workplace for users and professors or administrators could use the tool to create a module that is reflective of the soft skills needed for employment.
