Course: Study and career planning / Vierko

Welcome to Study and Career Planning!

The tasks and assignments in this course are a part of your Personal Competence Development Plan (HOKS). They also belong to the  Society and Working Life Competence study unit called Study and career planning (1cp), which is a part of your common unit studies. The goal  of this course is that you will be able to identify your own interests, reflect on your future and career-related issues, and prepare for finding a job and presenting your own skills. You can find the competence requirements and course assessment criteria in the file below.

This online course serves as a kind of  a "home base," where you can find assignments, materials, and links. These resources help you think about and reflect on your own skills. The tasks completed during the course, such as a job application, CV, and career plan, demonstrate that you have achieved the learning objectives of this study unit. In HOKS discussions, you can go through the assignments together with your teacher. The tasks in the first part of the course help you acquire and learn skills, and the assignments in the later part serve as tools to demonstrate your competence.

Please note! The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is not allowed in this course.
