What Students Are Saying About WRKX Classes
“I got college credit for working and achieving learning objectives in my current job. My supervisor was so impressed with my improvement that she gave me a raise. I also learned how to write a great résumé, communicate with my boss and co-workers, and prepare for a job interview. What I learned in this class will help me when I pursue my dream career.”
“Just wanted to reach out to you to let you know I got a raise this year from my performance review. I was given the largest raise at the company. On my review it says my raise is based on merit. I credit this class with helping me to learn new things along the way that helped me to achieve this success.”
"I feel more confident after completing my internship. Plus, I know that having job references and real work experience listed on my résumé will help me find a position in this competitive job market."
“This class did a great job in helping me improve my relationship and communication with my boss. We had to have multiple meetings for this course and for other work related reasons and I feel now he really gets a good sense of how dedicated I am to this job and to completing my degree. My boss really enjoyed this class and was very invested in helping me complete it.”
“The weekly topics that we worked on were very informative. The topic that helped me the most with my 21st century skills was the module on communication basics. Relearning basic communication skills helped me immensely with communicating with my coworkers this semester. Reading about which channels to use to get certain points across was enlightening for me and sort of inspired me to set a face to face meeting with my boss to go over my progress and goals at work. The meeting went very well and we both communicated goals and views very effectively and I even left the meeting with a raise!”
