Training to Persist in Computing Careers

摘要

Funded by a SIGCSE Special Project grant, Training to Persist in Computing Careers is a hands-on resource for faculty interested in incorporating soft skills training in IT-related courses. Soft skills include such abilities as controlling and using one's emotions (emotional intelligence), dealing with team issues and stress (coping strategies) and using business-appropriate language. These skills are increasingly recognized as key to success in IT-related disciplines [1,5].
