Module Conclusion

EQ is a transferable skill and valued by employers, even more so than IQ, and can significantly influence your career search, transition into the workforce and career trajectory. 

If this module sparked your interest in EQ, explore the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) framework's 4 Domains and 12 Competencies (Key Step Media, 2021).
