InternQube: Professional Skills for the Workplace

by Michael True

Employers worldwide, and especially in the United States, want employees who can demonstrate the so-called soft skills. This resource helps students to think about and develop these sought-after professional skills. The book highlights the core competencies they need to succeed in today's workplace. It is written in a nuts and bolts, executive summary style. Like the utility of a Swiss knife, this field manual also includes questions for reflection in multiple subject areas. Version 2.0 comes complete with new and updated chapters. It is perfect for Students, Faculty, Internship Coordinators and Employers for pre-internship orientations, concurrent classes, seminars, workshops, workplace skill development, or as a valued gift. It is easily integrated with any learning management system such as Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, or Sakai.

Michael True is Director of the Internship Center at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, PA and has worked in the field of internships for over 22 years.
