Donate Sustainable change requires more than one discipline to solve these Grand Challenges and expanding student’s competencies in cross-disciplinary collaborations will lead to more innovative solutions. National employer surveys and labor market analysis have clearly documented the need for students to receive “soft skill” training. This semester long, cohort-based training coalesces graduate students across diverse disciplines to gain knowledge and skills in developing effective teams, incorporating innovation and the entrepreneurial mindset and communicating with individuals across disciplines including media. Students are matched with an industry coach from a job sector that aligns with their career goals who can give them industry perspectives, help the students build a network, and guide the student in understanding the skillsets required to be successful.
