6 minutesIn Skills Lab, students assess 35 skills and critically evaluate how often they wish to use each skill in their future career.
This assessment is unique as it removes the anxiety and pressure that often comes with assessing how good they already are at a skill. Instead it has them focusing on the skills they’d most enjoy using, and which ones they value most.
Note: Because it involves more advanced cognitive capabilities, Skills Lab is available for students in How to Access Skills Lab
Students can access Skills Lab from two places: their Student Dashboard (the first page when they sign in to Xello), and their About Me page.
