The book addresses the continuing disparity between the skills developed in college and the essential skills needed in the dynamic workplace environment. By providing a common language from which to work, The Bases of Competence enables both educators and employers to create educational experiences of practical and enduring value.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on more than a decade of research on companies, graduates, and students, the authors identify four distinct skill combinations most desired by employers--Managing Self, Communicating, Managing People and Tasks, and Mobilizing Innovation and Change. Using case studies and best practices from a wide variety of institutional settings and workplace environments, the authors show how developing competencies narrows the gap between the classroom and work--providing students with a portfolio of basic skills that translate into lifelong employability.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eUNDERSTANDING COMPETENCE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Humbling Effect: Moving from College to the Workplace.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Creating a Common Language about Competence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Managing Self.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Communicating.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Managing People and Tasks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mobilizing Innovation and Change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e DEVELOPING COMPETENCE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Closing the Gap Between Campuses and Workplaces.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fostering Workplace Skills in the College Curriculum.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Building on Collegiate Learning in the Workplace.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e CASE STUDIES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Teaching World of Work Skills Within a Degree Program: Ontario Agricultural College (A.
