Overall description learning objectives

The purpose of the course is to initiate a process of career learning and personal development in which the student trains to link theory and academic concepts with practice. The course introduces the student to various tools and knowledge that enable them to enter the labour market. At the same time, it gives the student the opportunity to train the application of their own professionalism in a practical context through exercises and reflection. Through this, the student acquires skills and competences that can be applied to the future labour market and in life.

Learnings objectives - Knowledge

After completing the course, the student must be able to:

  • demonstrate familiarity with understanding competences, including one’s own
  • demonstrate knowledge of relevant career themes and conditions in the current and future labour market 
  • identify how to create value in the labour market and in society.

Learning objectives - Skills

After completing the course, the student must be able to:

  • assess how one’s competences can be brought into play in contexts outside the classroom
  • link experiences from practice to what the student has learned during their education
  • set career goals and act on them.

  • take initiatives to put one competences into play in practice
  • develop collaborative relationships and problem solving in interaction with others
  • assume responsibility for own career development.

Content

The Career Management Skills course trains the student to utilise their own career resources in a practical context and reflect on their own experiences during the semester. Themes in the teaching may include understanding of competences; networks and relationships; strategy and planning; job searching as well as insights into the current and future labour market.

Forms of instruction and work

Teaching must be organised in such a way as to support the humanities model for active learning and activating teaching, cf. section Didactic, pedagogical basis and contact to research environment in the curriculum. The teacher must inform students about how study activities are organised on commencement of teaching. 

The Career Management Skills course consists of an asynchronous, fully online course lasting approximately 12 hours. The course takes place on SDU’s e-learning platform and can contain a number of tasks that the student must solve individually and in collaboration with their fellow students in small groups. The elements include e.g. discussion, written reflection and peer feedback. The course begins with one online webinar. The date of the webinar will be announced before the start of the semester. Other elements are asynchronous.
