About This Course
The Business Career Branding for Success course engages learners in developing and strengthening the business and personal component of one’s own career brand. The learner takes the role of a personal CEO and uses business tools to analyze competitive strengths and weaknesses, create a competency profile, document high-demand marketable and transferable skills, craft a resume, and develop a lifelong learning and career development plan that will be revisited throughout the degree program. This course is divided into two parts: Part one is completed when the learner first enrolls to establish a competitive benchmark pre-assessment and initial lifelong learning and career development action plan to be revisited throughout the program during specific course milestones, and Part two concludes in a capstone post-assessment that enables the learner to re-evaluate competitive strengths and weaknesses, finalize the lifelong learning and career development action plan, and create a personal brand and business plan for the individual career path. This course is continually available to learners to revisit and review throughout their studies at NXU from enrollment to graduation.
