Checking Your Career Readiness with RATE
Reflect, Articulate, Translate, Evaluate
RATE™ is a CLA-invented online tool that helps you track how your experiences in and out of the classroom are contributing to the development of your core competencies and your career readiness.
You can use RATE anytime you engage in experiences — a significant class assignment or activity, a community service project, an internship or volunteer opportunity, a leadership position, a research study — to understand and connect all you’re doing and what you’re gaining from it.
