“Mission Impossible – Why General Education?”: Keeping a job while growing and advancing in the workplace requires more than training. Moraine Park Technical College provides opportunities for education as well as training. The job market today requires strong “soft skills,” i.e., skills in communicating both verbally and in writing. Problem-solving abilities, making wise and informed decisions, and working effectively in teams are all “soft skills” that employers are seeking. General Education courses will add value to a technical diploma or associate degree in three different but related ways. Find out what these are and more information regarding the mission of General Education in a technical college degree. Raj Pathare, Executive Dean – General Ed/Basic Ed/Developmental Ed.
