The 2009 A<i>CS Guidelines for Chemistry in Two-Year College Programs </i>were designed to closely parallel the baccalaureate guidelines, both in structure and content. As such, the listed student skills were problem-solving, chemical literature, laboratory safety, communication, teamwork, and ethics. The 2015 two-year college guidelines were revised to maintain the parallelism with the recently-revised baccalaureate guidelines and to keep pace with the current trends and needs in the job market. A stronger emphasis has been placed on programs helping students to be effective and productive professionals in any chemistry-based career. This presentation will give an overview of the revised Student Skills section of the 2015 <i>ACS Guidelines for Chemistry in Two-Year College Programs</i>.
