|  | This curriculum was developed as a response to
					            faculty's request for a set of criteriaand guidelines to help
					            them assess student performance of soft (employability/foundation)
					            skills, such as communication, problem solving and teamwork.
					            The skills included have been identified by industry representatives
					            as critical to the success of all IT professionals. For each
					            skill, 3 levels of proficiency with increasing skill performance
					            and complexity are defined. Note: Although initially developed
					            for IT programs, the guidelines in this document can be readily
				            	adapted and applied to any professional/technical program. |  |
