Developing Emotional Intelligence Skills in Emerging Talent

Abstract

Today's workplace demands continue to evolve, and prospective talent is expected to lead upon arrival. In response to these expectations, academia and industry partnerships emerge to support the development of undergraduate students with the essential skills to lead. Scholars suggest emotional intelligence (Ei) is necessary for career success. This case study reflects on the collaboration between a university and industry partnership that integrated the Ei framework in the coaching and training of students. It further explains the elements of curricula design and program evaluation.
