Beyond providing opportunities to gain and apply skills and perspectives, we argue that helping students thoughtfully reflect on the skills and experiences they have from their training and from CEL projects increases their success in college and their readiness for the job market. CEL can be challenging to implement so we provide lessons learned for each of the models we describe.
