OUR GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

CAREER EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM 

More than a degree

Gain skills that make you valuable in the workplace

Employers are thinking differently about hiring

The entry level job market is more competitive than ever. Employers are now looking to hire candidates who can reasonably be expected to carry their weight as part of the team – and help the organization grow.

That means candidates with the highest chance of success will bring TWO things to the table: 

  1. A college degree
  2. Workplace-ready skills

These undergraduate programs are centered around the real-life skills most valued in the workplace.

"Success in the workplace requires more than just knowledge"

In todays fast-paced world, success in the workplace requires more than just technical expertise and knowledge. As the nature of work continues to evelove, it is imporatnt for individuals to possess attributes and abilities that allow them to collaborate with teams and colleagues – otherwise known as soft skills. 

                                                                                                         – Forbes Advisor, 2024

77% of employers believe soft skills are just as important as hard skills

When companies are assessing job candidates, they’re looking for the best of both worlds: somone who is not only proficient in a particular function but also has the right personality… Saying that you are a team player is not enough; you have to show it… Try to make the intangible tangible.

                                                                                               – Rosemary Haefner

"Hard skills and soft skills for any work situation"

A decade ago, employers were looking for a college degree – and that’s what students wanted. But with the shift in the employment market, college students are becoming more savvy. 

They understand that employers want more than a fancy piece of paper – they also want highly valuable, trainable new hires who can hit the ground running thanks to robust hard skills and soft skills. That’s why each of our courses is packed with learning opportunities and challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. 

Our undergrad programs are not just abstract learning – they’re more like a series of skill workouts. Those skills can be transfered to any work environment.

Over the last two hundred years, the insights of the great Chassidic masters have helped us to uncover deeper understandings of the Torah that have transformed and enhanced our ability to serve Hashem and develop ourselves. Based upon the Sefer Shem Mishmuel, written by the Chassidic Rebbe, HaRav Shmuel Bornsztain זצ”ל, the second Sochatchover Rebbe, and its English commentary, Living the Chassidic Legacy – Lessons Based on the SHem Mishmuel, by Rav Herschel Reichman שליט”א, this course is centered on the weekly Torah portion. Within each Torah portion, Rabbi Reichman analyzes one or two topics based on the book of Chassidic discourses, the Shem Mishmuel. This course attempts to deepen one’s understanding of the themes presented in the Book of Breishit (Genesis) and Shemot (Exodus), by discussing the narratives presented in this book, and synthesizing them with the comments of the Midrash, the Talmud, and Hasidic thought. The concepts presented are then connected to contemporary life, and the students are able to apply the lessons of the Torah to modern-day issues and challenges.
