Employees who demonstrate Leadership & Collaboration contribute to team and organizational success by working effectively with others, navigating challenges, and taking initiative, whether or not they hold a formal leadership title. Join us to explore how this skill shows up across academic, co-curricular, and experiential learning, why it matters to employers across industries, and how to clearly communicate these experiences using a Skills First approach. Participants will learn how to translate everyday leadership and teamwork moments into language that resonates with employers.

As a result of attending this session, participants will be able to:

• Define the Leadership & Collaboration skill and understand how it aligns with employer expectations across roles and industries.
• Identify academic, work, and campus experiences where you have demonstrated leadership and collaboration behaviors, with or without a formal title.
• Articulate leadership and collaboration experiences using clear, skills-based, employer-aligned language for resumes and interviews.
• Apply strategies to highlight Leadership & Collaboration effectively in professional contexts.
