Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
Soft Skills and Employability (equivalent of the Pre-professionalisation Module in Paris) aims at supporting student’s reflections about their studies and professional projects in connection with their personal life while growing as individuals, learning how to interact with others and collaborate.
During the third year, this Module aims at supporting the next active step towards entering the professional life. It gives practical tools so that students can feel confident to move forward. Its main general objective is to help each student start the process of finding his/her place in the working society and envisioning him/herself working happily and contributing to the world.
The Module focuses on perfecting key job search tools such as CVs, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles, while also guiding students through the process of building a personalized and actionable career plan.
Students are encouraged to reflect on their strengths and career motivations using the Strong Inventory assessment, with individual feedback and optional one-to-one discussions.
Experiential learning is at the heart of the module, including mock interviews with professionals and peers, and opportunities to engage with alumni and industry experts.
To successfully complete the module, students must attend at least four mandatory workshops (6*1.5h), ensuring they engage meaningfully with the most critical employability elements.
