The Scottie 9 Career Readiness Competencies
The Career Center staff and programming focus on the goal of total career readiness for all Maryville College graduates. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, there are eight career readiness competencies that prepare students for success in the workplace and lifelong career management. Career readiness is a foundation for demonstrating requisite core competencies that broadly prepare the college-educated for success in the workplace and lifelong career management. For new college graduates, career readiness is key to ensuring successful entrance into the workforce. Career readiness is the foundation upon which a successful career is launched.
At Maryville College, we support students in developing the Scottie 9 Career Competencies. The Scottie 9 Career Competencies include: the NACE Career Readiness Competencies, with the addition of Global Competence. Development of the Scottie 9 is part of how we prepare our students for lives of success. Definitions for these skill areas and sample behaviors for each, are included below.
