Career skills for a digital world

Even in a tech-dominated workforce, people will always be able to do things machines cannot: lead with values and empathy, think critically, communicate effectively, and adapt to new situations.

These workplace skills can be the hardest to develop and yet the most valuable for your career path. UVA Edge will help you build these skills while earning credits that can count toward a degree.*

*The decision whether to accept Edge credits toward a degree is up to the institution that awards the degree.
