We are excited to begin offering our Essential Workplace Skills (previously called Soft Skills) workshops in a new, self-paced tutorial format through Niche Academy! Several of these reformatted courses are open for registration as of June 1, 2022. Though they have been renamed and are different in format, the content remains the same.

The courses available for registration now are:
Essential Workplace Skills: Introduction to Accountability at Work COMING SOON!
Essential Workplace Skills: Introduction to Critical Thinking Skills
Essential Workplace Skills: Introduction to Emotional Intelligence COMING SOON!
Essential Workplace Skills: Introduction to Thriving in the Midst of Change NEW!
Essential Workplace Skills: Introduction to Workplace Etiquette

The Essential Workplace Skills tutorials will remain free to all staff of our MCLS member libraries, and will be easier than ever to access and complete around your own schedule! A Certificate of Completion showing the number of hours (CEUs/LEUs) earned is available to download upon successful completion of these tutorials.

We will offer a Certificate of Library Staff Development in Essential Workplace Skills, and previously completed MCLS Soft Skills live and on-demand courses will continue to qualify. To learn about our Essential Workplace Skills Certificate, visit our website.
