By far, the most important soft skills are related to communication, both oral and written. Employers have strong preference for students with good time management and the ability to work with little or no supervision. While, not necessarily a soft skill, the willingness to be mobile (to move where the jobs are) strongly influences the speed of placement into their full-time jobs. There is a strong premium placed on "field-ready" foresters, those that require relatively low initial investment by the companies because the students have already attained the skills. In-field placement over the summers before graduation is strongly valued by employers and required by our program.
