University of Hawaii Maui College’s MCTV channel is airing a new television series as part of a “What it Takes To Succeed” project that seeks to integrate learning and study skills into curriculum. While the focus is primarily for college students to develop the “soft skills” needed to stay on track and succeed, the strategies can be applied to any profession, according to an announcement.
WiTTS Project Director Anne Ku encourages all community members to tune in. “When I talk to college graduates and people who have succeeded in their jobs and relationships, I notice a consistent, core set of skills that echo throughout their stories: mastery of time management; goal setting; self-regulation,” she said. “These skills are essential to get us through whatever stage of life we’re in.”
In each of the 30-minute episodes, WiTTS TV will help viewers develop or refine these skills through interviews and discussions with experts from UH-MC and the community. The show will cover a range of topics, including concentration and focus, stress and crisis management, and overcoming the fear of mathematics.
WiTTS TV began airing March 14 on Oceanic Time Warner channels 354 and 27.55 at 5, 5:30, 10 and 10:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The 10-episode series can also be viewed at those times online via the MCTV webpage at maui.hawaii.edu/mctv-live.
