Employers havecontinually voiced concerns about college students not being ready for the demands of theworkplace in terms of their personal and team-based soft skills. As a result, we focused ourefforts to design and implement a set of soft skills modules that can be seamlessly integrated intothe technical curriculum. This paper focuses on development and delivery of such soft skillmodules at the high school level to help prepare students for college and careers.After receiving grant funding from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, the cross
