Your Students Have the Degree. Do They Know the Rules?

Employers aren't just hiring for skills. They're evaluating how new hires read the room, manage up, build relationships, and handle their first 90 days. Those unwritten rules decide who advances and who stalls, and most students never learn them in the classroom. Eric Kelly spent his corporate career on the other side of that decision. Now he brings that insight directly to your students.
