‘Soft skills’ has become a buzz term for good reason. The ability to communicate is essential and especially important in the sciences where students regularly present and discuss their work. Unfortunately, though, according to many industry partners, students are often entering the workforce without these crucial skills. As a professor in Communication Studies, I began working closely with our college’s science department through the NSF funded EPIIC Faculty Fellow Program. For my externship in this role, I partnered with Bioscience Core Skills Institute to create micro-credentials focusing on spoken communication, written communication, and reading comprehension. I will share my experience as an EPIIC fellow and professor working with an industry partner to define the important role communication plays in all fields of study. I will explore ways professors in the sciences can integrate classroom opportunities to practice communication skills and ways to utilize micro-credentials for student success.
