Career-Relevant Skills You Can Demonstrate Course by Course


00:01 What is something employers are looking for in job candidates? If you guessed skills, you would be right. That is why we believe in career-focused education. 00:10 Our programs are designed to help you demonstrate career-relevant skills and put them into practice within weeks, not years. Here is how we do it. 00:18 We work with labor-market analysts to evaluate thousands of job postings and identify skills that employers want in job candidates. 00:26 Those skills are integrated into the curriculum of every bachelor’s and master’s degree program. 00:32 Because our faculty members have real-world experience, you can trust that what you are learning is industry-relevant. 00:41 On average, for every three-credit core course you take, you can earn three career-relevant skills that you can add to your résumé or LinkedIn profile. 00:52 For example, if you took this business course, you could earn these three skills. 00:59 You can keep track of your skills in your personalized skills profile, which you can access at any time, even as an alumnus. 01:09 Do not wait until graduation to show employers what you can do. 01:12 Build your résumé one course at a time at University of Phoenix.
