Paper Abstract:
|
As university students' journey through their studies, their minds are fixed on a common end goal, that of graduating with
flying colours and landing their dream job. They aim for achieving the top grades and focus on their studies, assignments,
and exams. In this journey, the students often overlook or underestimate the importance of developing some skills that
employers may consider important for their jobs. In this paper, we present a prototype of a mobile application that stimulates
university students to reflect upon their experiences and assess the skills they may develop that would help them towards
their dream job. The mobile application is designed to support students to recognize employability skills, conduct a
self-assessment of their skills, document their skills in terms of the experiences that contributed to the development of the
skills and to provide learning resources for improving skills. This work is conducted within the EU ERASMUS+ program. |
