Skills assessment
A comprehensive modular approach, the skills assessment enables you to take stock of your career path, assess your strengths and define a career development plan. The assessments carried out by the Guidance and Careers Service are individual, confidential and specifically designed for university students.
Skills assessments focus on:
- the assessment of your prior learning (training, professional and non-professional experience);
- the determination of your strengths and weaknesses;
- the assessment of your motivations (interests, personal values, personality);
- the construction of a project and and the determination of the measures to be taken to achieve it.
Who is it for?
The skills assessment is aimed at UNIL graduates who have completed most of their studies (Bachelor's or Master's) and already have at least 3 years' professional experience. Significant professional integration since the award of the degree is essential in order to offer a certain degree of reflection on the course taken and the knowledge acquired.
The process is not offered to people who left UNIL before obtaining a degree or to those who have only followed a short or continuing training course at UNIL.
Doctoral students benefit from Graduate Campus services. For any queries or advice, please contact graduatecampus@unil.ch
Duration
The skills assessments commit you to 3 à 8 one-hour interviews with a·e psychologist.
