#56 Beyond the Books: as a Key to College Success with Dr. Onye

So much of childhood education is about learning academic skills to get into college and very little is on the personal and social skills required to thrive in college.  In this week’s episode we sit down with Dr. Ifeanyi Onyejiji, founder of Onye Speaks.  Dr. Onye shares about his work developing a motivational and culturally relevant curriculum aimed  to help students learn the “soft skills” that are often missing in K-12 education.  Dr. Onye’s holistic approach highlights the importance of the development of self-advocacy, career self-efficacy, and self-awareness skills in order to help students feel more confident and capable as they navigate college and young adulthood.  Whether you are applying to college, or are already on a college campus, this episode is a must listen.  Dr. Onye’s website:https://www.onyespeaks.com/Want to share your story, give us feedback or offer up an episode idea?
