Assessment

100%: Individual professional development review

Aims:

This unit aims to develop self-awareness, personal and interpersonal effectiveness, and the capacity for self-directed career development.

Successful careers in a dynamic global economy involve the capacity to construct a synthesis between personal interests and the opportunities and demands of the environment. This requires a high degree of personal leadership, in other words an ability to hold tensions between conflicting demands and aspirations.

Students will be enabled to develop their abilities strategically and in personally meaningful ways by participating in taught classroom sessions, tutorials, one-to-one career coaching and peer coaching.
