ENG-R 222 Deliberative Democracy, Fall 2017
GROUP COMMUNICATION
What are the five skills employers want most?
1. People skills
2. Problem-solving skills
3. Oral communication skills
4. Leadership skills
5. Written communication skills
ENG-R222 is an intensive training in these skills, and, by the way, it
won’t hurt to have it on your résumé.
Learn about the nature of group conflict and collaboration, creating conducive
discussion climates, negotiating strategies, leadership and team roles, speech
and listening skills, methods of deliberation, group power dynamics, avoiding
groupthink, and democratic vs. hierarchical decision-making.
ENG-R222 9:30-10:45 TR, Instructor: Professor John Arthos
5 skills college grads need to get a job
While	many	companies	have	open	positions	and	are	eager	to	hire,	they	report	having	trouble	finding	qualified	
candidates	to	fill	those	positions.	The	lesson	for	young	grads?	Having	a	college	degree	and	technical	skills	isn't	
enough	to	land	their	first	job.	They	also	need	these	five	other	skills,	according	to	employers	who	responded	to	the	
CareerBuilder	survey.	
1.	People	skills	
Being	able	to	appropriately	communicate	and	interact	with	other	people	sounds	simple,	but	it's	something	a	lot	of	
young	workers	struggle	with,	say	employers	and	educators.	Fifty-two	percent	of	companies	that	responded	to	the	
Career	Builder		
2.	Problem-solving	skills	
Forty-six	percent	of	employers	said	that	recent	college	graduates	have	poor	problem-solving	skills.	Tests	of	students'	
skills	suggest	they're	right.	When	researchers	at	the	Council	for	Aid	to	Education	recently	tested	the	problem-solving	
and	critical	thinking	abilities	of	college	seniors	at	more	than	150	schools	across	the	U.S.,	they	found	that	although	
the	majority	demonstrated	adequate	skills	in	this	area,	40%	were	deficient.	
3.	Oral	communication	skills	
Many	graduates	may	not	realize	that	their	oral	communication	skills	are	a	turnoff	to	potential	employers	because	
they	 tend	 to	 rate	 their	 abilities	 highly	 in	 this	 area.	 Sixty-two	 percent	 of	 students	 surveyed	 by	 the	 American	
Association	of	Colleges	and	Universities	said	they	were	well	prepared	in	the	area	of	oral	communication.	Just	28%	
of	employers	felt	the	same	way.	
4.	Leadership	skills	
Forty	percent	of	companies	looking	to	hire	new	graduates	say	that	this	group	needs	better	leadership	skills.	
5.	Written	communication	skills	
While	65%	of	recent	graduates	are	confident	in	their	writing	skills,	according	to	the	American	Association	of	Colleges	
and	Universities	survey,	employers	are	less	sanguine,	with	only	27%	of	them	reporting	that	recent	college	graduates	
have	the	written	communication	skills	needed	to	succeed	in	the	workplace.
