In this exercise, the students must link their professional or academic Bachelor’s degree programme to their Master’s degree programme and reflect on how their qualifications from the two programmes interact and what strengths they imply. In addition, the students must communicate an initial competence profile which links their academic background and the competences they have acquired so far to the job market.
The aim of the exercise is for the students to create an overview of the competences they have acquired through the combination of their first and second degree programmes. This gives them an opportunity to consider what their basis is for contributing in a job context. Once they have completed the exercise, they must have created a document containing inspiration which they can use as a springboard when starting the process of writing an application for a future job.
The students transfer key points from the mind map to Handout 2(Awaiting translation) (five minutes).
You then divide the students into groups of three to four. The students carry out an inspirational round, taking turns to speak on the basis of their key points in handouts 1 and 2. While listening, the other students in the group must write down key points for the information given from Handout 2 (approx. eight minutes).
The students must now start writing a brief coherent text for a competence profile (initial) for the job market (30 minutes).
