Career EQuip is a two-year pilot program aimed at developing the emotional capital of tomorrow's business leaders. The program is a partnership between the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business and RBC Future Launch. Delivered to a subset of 2nd year business students, the program builds upon experiential programs by integrating emotional intelligence and career development into mandatory and optional programming to equip students with the skills and knowledge to be "career ready". We will share initial findings that demonstrate the value of introducing emotional intelligence and career development early in the student experience to develop stronger self-awareness, to build understanding of critical 21st century skills for career success; and strategies for engaging students in developmental opportunities that more effectively prepare them for the future of work.
