On completing the PDP module, you are expected to be able to:
1. Recognise and articulate a sense of progressive development and integrated learning over the course of your Bachelor of Commerce / Bachelor of Science degree, focusing not just on academic learning but on your personal and professional development.
2. Reflect on what you have experienced and learned, including feedback, and things that did not go according to plan.
3. Collect and select evidence as part of a personal audit that demonstrates your transferable skills, personal achievements, and career insights.
4. Plan and set goals for future development, informed by self-awareness and demonstrate a capacity to work on strengths, challenges and personal objectives.
5. Understand and reflect on contemporary career dynamics and identify personal strategies for seeking, continuing or changing employment or creating self-employment.
This modules requires you to reflect on your journey over the past 3 / 4 years and to understand and be able to demonstrate the soft skills you have acquired along the way. For example, leadership, conflict resolution, team working and influencing are just some of the skills you will have gained during your time at college. We will discover how best to articulate these to potential employers and we will identify gaps in these skill sets and how these gaps might be addressed.
