Soft Skills for the Modern Creative Professional
Flexible, evidence-based curriculum designed to fit your students—not the other way around.
Whether you're looking to supplement an existing course, launch a new certificate program, or provide students with self-directed professional development, Studio / Soft Skills offers a flexible curriculum that adapts to your academic environment.
Built on behavioral science, organizational psychology, and insights from leading practitioners, the curriculum helps students develop the professional skills employers consistently identify as essential for career success.
Why it matters
Technical skills earn interviews. Professional skills build careers.
Technical skills may help graduates earn interviews. Professional skills help them build trust, communicate ideas, collaborate effectively, and lead throughout their careers.
Employers consistently emphasize skills such as communication, adaptability, emotional intelligence, collaboration, and influence as critical differentiators in today's workplace.
Studio / Soft Skills provides a structured, evidence-based approach to teaching these capabilities through research, practical frameworks, executive interviews, and applied learning.
Designed to fit your program
Every institution is different.
That's why Studio / Soft Skills is designed to support multiple delivery models.
Self-Directed Online
Students complete the curriculum independently through the Studio / Soft Skills platform. Ideal for career centers, certificates, and co-curricular learning.
Integrated with Your LMS
License the curriculum and deliver it through Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, or your preferred learning management system. Students remain entirely within your existing environment.
Instructor-Led
Faculty use the curriculum as lesson plans, discussion guides, activities, and assessments within traditional classroom instruction.
Hybrid Learning
Combine self-paced online modules with instructor-led discussions, workshops, critiques, or studio sessions.
Workshops & Intensives
Deliver the curriculum as a bootcamp, orientation program, leadership series, or professional development workshop.
Custom Programs
Adapt the curriculum for specific disciplines, departments, or industries with customized interviews, case studies, and assignments.
Built for higher education
A complement to your academic programs.
Studio / Soft Skills was created to complement—not replace—existing academic programs.
The curriculum is designed to integrate seamlessly with studio courses, capstones, career preparation, extension programs, and professional certificates while allowing institutions to choose the delivery model that best supports their students.
