CASE undertook a comprehensive assessment of our curriculum, and we developed a competencies model. To ensure that our educational programming provides a clear path to increased effectiveness, productivity, and professionalism, “competency clusters” were identified. Each competency cluster is composed of hard and soft skills, detailing the knowledge, skills, and abilities that result in positive performance outcomes.
