Overview

The objective of this pilot is to design new modules/MOOC courses as part of a new career design service concept. The purpose of this concept is to create new, and integrate existing courses and services, to assist students and alumni in their careers and lifelong learning. The current services are largely separate, produced by a variety of units, and hence, not easily accessible to students. The needs of alumni, in particular, when it comes to lifelong learning and career development have not been addressed. The courses we are developing in this pilot are generic courses that can be offered to both students and alumni. One course is focused on the Future of Work and another course/module on Career Design Thinking.

Pedagogical methods

Blended learning, peer groups, discussions, self-reflection.

Involved courses

Future of Work (2 ECTS)
