NACE Career Readiness Resources

The National Association of Colleges and Employers' free library on career readiness — the eight competencies employers say they screen for, plus assessments and guides.

From the site: NACE members share resources they have developed to communicate with college students and others about how to develop key competencies, known as the NACE Career Readiness Competencies, needed to be considered ready for the workforce.

Why I recommend it: This is where the "career readiness competencies" language in graduate job descriptions comes from — worth reading so you can mirror it back. Paywall note: the competency pages linked from here are free, but NACE's survey data, salary reports and full Job Outlook editions require paid membership — stick to the free material unless your school already has a membership.
