Davenport University is committed to equipping its students with the skills they need to rise to the top of the job market. In fact, we were one of the first universities in the country to certify soft skills on students’ diplomas. Here are some of the top soft skills Davenport instills in its graduates.
Intercultural Competency In a globally connected world, employees need the ability to adapt to new situations and an understanding of the complex issues that can be present in diverse environments.
