In 2015, VE developed a comprehensive Career Readiness Framework that encapsulates the key competencies that students develop throughout the VE program, accelerating their growth and preparing them for success in the workforce.
The competency model identifies four dimensions of knowledge, skills, and abilities that VE students develop throughout the program; each is comprised of several core competencies associated with that dimension.
In 2020, Deloitte, on a pro bono basis, reviewed and updated VE’s Career Readiness Framework, a process that included interviewing Educators, Current and Former Students, and Industry Leaders.
