Learning outcomes
The aims of the course is to increase students' awareness in terms of soft skills, useful for learning, managing career and life paths.
The course is divided into theoretical lectures, workshop and ‘laboratories’ with the aim of enabling students to identify their strengths and weaknesses, their abilities, skills, interests, needs and motivations. The goal is to support students to better understand each individual's "talent" and how could be combined with future professional profiles aspired.
The path leads student to make informed and effective decisions, with positive returns not only in the context of university but also in personal life and career paths.
The crucial point is the talent development path based on the adoption of the DOTS theoretical model and the psychological capital (PSYCAP). This initiative allow to continue the talent development after the course through individual or small groups session (coaching, mentoring, counseling). Students who have attended the course, after their entry in the labor market, can be involved as testimonials in future editions of the course at the University of Pavia in order to create a virtuous synergy.
