Employers repeatedly say they need more workers with communication, adaptability, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities, and have trouble finding recent graduates with those skills, according to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), a leading advocate for SEL.
Another report on employability skills indicated that a set of five SEL competencies help make young people better students and better employees: self awareness, self management, responsible decision making, relationship skills and social awareness.
