  • 642 Accesses

Abstract

In today’s competitive business world, young adults strive to be employed by well-known corporations. However, having a degree does not guarantee an employment opportunity, just like a high grade point average does not guarantee a better position, as employers prefer candidates not only with a diploma, but also with professional competencies such as teamwork, relationship management, and creative problem solving. Therefore, higher education institutions develop various courses and certificate programs that buttress the development of competencies. Universities develop such diverse and innovative courses beyond their traditional curriculum, and they are also challenged to use various methodologies in these courses.
