For students to succeed at college, there are some skills they should have before they leave home.

Students must be able to know how long tasks will take and be able to make sure they can get them completed before deadlines.

I have noticed too many students think studying means reading a page over and over again. They need to learn to really get to grips with the material and study effectively.

Students must be able to write research papers, letters applying for jobs, emails to their professors and many other things.

You can't write a research paper without knowing how to do research. And research needs to be done both online and offline. Many students don't know how to use libraries any more,

Students who move away from home will need to know how to keep track of their money and ensure they don't run out

Most students need money. the vast majority have loans and many get limited or no allowances from their parents. Having some entrepreneurship skills helps students to think up ways of earning extra money. Many students have skills they can charge money for eg cutting hair, tutoring etc

Students need to be organized so that they get to where they need to be each day, complete homework on time and many other things. They can't rely on parents to keep them on track any more

No guy wants pink underwear because he didn't know how to separate his laundry. Students also need to know how to sew on buttons. And although students seldom iron, they may need to do so if they are going to an important interview.

Well, they don't have to know how to use PowerPoint, but they do need to know how to use slide shows in a presentation. Haiku Deck is a far simpler solution, of course.
They definitely need public speaking skills not only in college but throughout life.
