AI is changing how students learn, but educators still need meaningful ways to ensure students can demonstrate the communication, critical thinking, and professional skills employers expect. Explore practical strategies for designing authentic, skills-based assessments that create meaningful evidence of learning and better prepare students for what's next.

Now that graduation season has wrapped up, many business school leaders are turning their attention to an important question: How prepared are graduates for the conversations that determine their next opportunity? At the AMBA & BGA Global Conference (Association of MBAs), I spoke with faculty and business school leaders from around the world who shared a common challenge: while students are gaining strong technical and academic foundations, many still need more support developing the soft skills that employers value most; Communication, Confidence, Self-Awareness, and the ability to perform well in interviews. These skills can make the difference between securing an opportunity and missing one. That's why I found this recent article especially relevant. It explores why interview skills matter, how they impact student outcomes, and ways institutions can better prepare students for the transition from business school to the workplace.
