  How are you helping your students develop the key skills and essential tools necessary for long-term career success?

  At CUNY Lehman, The College of Business implemented LEAP (Learn, Empower, Ascend, Progress), a competency-based, co-curricular engagement initiative, to combat career readiness and to prepare their students for long-term success following graduation. LEAP, powered by Suitable, is a mobile platform that helps business students develop key skills desirable to employers outlined by NACE's core competencies through participation in experimental learning and co-curricular activities. Students can track and monitor their progress in real-time with their co-curricular transcript and ePortfolios and earn shareable digital badges and achievements to reflect their skill development as they level up through the program.

  Join Lawrence Fauntleroy, director of experiential learning, to learn how Lehman College of Business uses LEAP to redefine career readiness and equip students with the tools and resources necessary for students to succeed in today's competitive job market. In addition, Randy Bitting, head of strategy and career readiness at Suitable, will reveal his best practices for improving career readiness and scaffolding student outcomes. He will also provide key updates on the latest enhancements to the NACE Ready Competency Assessment Tool.

  Following this program, you will be able to:

  • Discover how Lehman uses Suitable to assess co-curricular involvement and experiential learning;
