Many graduates of universities work in positions that are not related to the acquired knowledge and skills shaped during their studies. In this situation, the resources developed during several years of education gradually degrade and eventually disappear.
The best universities, such as Stanford, in addition to specialty subjects, also offer courses in career planning/design through appropriate selection and individualization of the learning path already during the studies.
Students are able to personalize their development in terms of knowledge and skills. A good example of this type of approach is the Designing Your Life training at Stanford University by Professor Burnett. Every year hundreds of students participate in it.
Another approach that is very popular is Business Model You, a career planning course developed based on the Business Model Canvas technique.
The original element of this project is the use of the Design thinking logic in the process of individualization of the learning path and didactic content in view of the current needs of the labor market.
In addition, it is planned to adapt the methods of Designing your life and Business Model You and develop an original methodology consisting of the process and appropriately selected methods and techniques.
