Should you work harder than what your degree requires? Always. However, that’s much easier said than done..

A degree acts as an access key into the world of your studies, it’s up to you to use that access to your advantage. Todd Barnes & Wayne Edwards -both educators at Universities located in CT- unravel why it is so important to develop skills outside of your degree in order to succeed outside of the classroom.

Todd & Wayne’s takes on transferring out of the classroom and into the workforce:

Roles and responsibilities are becoming more combined. Students need to have larger skill sets to succeed.
You must make connections with those who are in high positions, positions in the field you’re studying to dive into and learn from them.
You must work harder than what your degree requires.

If you’d like to gain insight on how you can use your university to its fullest potential, tune in to Select + CT’s second podcast episode: University to Career, hosted by David DesRoches.
