Highlighting Competencies Through the Lense of a Peer Guide: Self Awareness & Intercultural Awareness

 


Here at the Niblock Student Center, we have 10 competencies that each student should be able to display during their academic and professional career. Today, I will be highlighting two of the competencies in particular: Self Awareness and Intercultural Awareness. 


Self Awareness and Intercultural Awareness are imperative skills when it comes to self discovery and factors that have the potential of affecting people in the workplace. Once you have mastered self awareness and the ability to articulate your personal and professional goals, this goes hand in hand with intercultural awareness. The knowledge of international markets and cultural diversity is critical when collaborating in teams and having an understanding of a variety of markets. 


To become more aware of these competencies, try taking the Clifton Strengths and a Pathway U assessment. You can also consider pursuing coursework in a language such as French, Spanish or German or take a few international electives in order to understand other cultures!
