| Abstract: | In this article, the authors consider whether the noncognitive skills typically associated with college and career success are equally valued by university officials and employers. Using a taxonomy that represents the range of noncognitive skills that appear in both higher education and employment scholarship, they present research funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that examines how each sector prioritizes and takes responsibility for teaching those noncognitive skills associated with college and work success. |
