This is one of most informative and thought-provoking slide I’ve seen on practical tips for recent college graduates. I highly recommend finishing the entire slide; it may be the most beneficial 10 minutes spent in your life- even for those who graduated college many years ago like myself.
Here are the three secrets in nutshell:
1. Develop your Competitive Advantage
2. Build your Network
3. Take Intelligent Risks
As evident by this slide created by one of the founders of Linkedin, CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING, RISK TAKING and LEARNING BY DOING are important facets of real life learning. These are the skills that will travel beyond a college degree, perhaps even more so than those A’s on exams.
Today’s education system fails to teach students such practical real life skills, and this is where The Growing Tree Learning Academy steps in. As an innovative afterschool learning and tutoring platform, we provide students with supplemental training that adds valuable lifelong skills IN ADDITION to practical academic skills.
We don’t simply teach how to take exams and get A’s on report cards- we teach our students how to begin to think, create, act and make choices like a future leader.
