Students Learn and Develop Skills Essential for Academic Success and Beyond

SAGE Publishing launches SAGE Skills: Student Success, an interactive resource for students to develop and practice the academic and personal skills needed to thrive in higher education and beyond. Through interactive scenarios, self-assessments, downloadable exercises, videos, and more, students can self-direct their learning journey through 1,100+ topics across 10 comprehensive modules.

SAGE Skills: Student Success helps students:

• Become better critical thinkers, researchers, and writers

• Identify their own biases and enhance intercultural awareness

• Collaborate successfully with others

• Become more critical consumers of information

• Find and use data effectively in academic projects

• Study and communicate effectively

• Adjust to the emotional demands of a new environment

• Understand how to apply academic skills to the workplace

A global team of academic editors and contributors selected skills and topics they viewed as most relevant to support a student’s path to graduation and beyond. Students can identify skillsets in need of development and explore skill-learning topics that are most relevant to their needs.

“SAGE Skills: Student Success helps librarians and faculty deliver on their core goals of supporting students’ academic achievement and work readiness,” says Karen Phillips, Executive Vice President of Learning at SAGE Publishing. “As an independent company dedicated to supporting student success and research excellence in Higher Education, we were uniquely able to think long-term as we developed the resource. We have drawn on our partnerships with faculty and librarians to ensure we understand how we can support universities as they deliver aspirational student outcomes. The result is an invaluable resource that addresses evolving student learning needs while prioritizing student wellbeing.”

SAGE Skills: Student Success joins the SAGE Skills suite, which also includes SAGE Skills: Business. This suite of resources is designed to improve student outcomes by providing a holistic skill-building solution that prepares students at all levels for pre- and post-graduation success.
