Well imagine you have to adapt to working remotely. Actually, you probably don’t have to imagine that. It is challenging but not impossible, you are doing it already.
Imagine that you are working remotely but with a completely new team, people you have never met in person. That is a bit more challenging.
Now imagine you are working remotely with people you have never met before and you have all just joined a new organisation. No one has the inside track on how things are done or what is expected. This sounds very challenging.
But this is exactly what many first year college students have been doing since September.
As we near the end of the semester, college students are submitting their teamwork projects online and delivering group presentations via Zoom. These students are coping with social isolation and missing out many aspects of their college experience. They have risen to their work challenges, although it has not been easy.
These students are developing adaptability, resilience and creativity skills that will be assets for life.
