How to Build Skills That Actually Matter: Kaie x From Campus to Corporate

​Want to actually feel prepared for the jobs you want?

​This session is for anyone tired of vague advice like “just be confident” or “get more experience.” We’ll cut through the noise and show you how to make your background—whatever it is—translate into real-world value.

​Whether you’ve been in school, working part-time, freelancing, or in-between, you’ve built skills. You just might not be naming them in ways recruiters recognize.

​This is the workshop where we fix that. No BS. No jargon. Just a proven way to own your value and talk about it with clarity.

​What You’ll Learn

• ​How to identify the skills that hiring managers actually hire for

• ​Why “soft skills” are your sharpest edge (if you frame them right)

• ​How to talk about experience you don’t think “counts”

• ​A plug-and-play method to tell your story without jargon
