General Information

Overview

The landscape of business, industry, and professional sectors is swiftly evolving, with emerging trends highlighting the essential capabilities needed for graduate roles. This swift evolution demands that graduates possess the requisite skills, knowledge, and attributes to meet employers' evolving needs. This unit is designed to arm students with the employability skills necessary for work readiness and career planning. It involves engaging in self-awareness activities and exploring what employers expect from graduates in their field. Students will learn to craft professional job applications, hone their interview techniques, and create a personal portfolio to further their career goals. They will also practice using web-based technology intelligently to search for and secure professional employment. Additionally, the unit covers the fundamental requirements, ethical obligations, and mutual expectations of employees and employers.
