🎓 Lideratge i empleabilitat: dissenya el teu futur

Knowledge blocks: 

1. Intrapersonal Skills

These will be worked on throughout the program in a continuous process in which a starting point is established and, from there, an individual action plan is drawn up for each student, supervised by a tutor/mentor who has specific training for this purpose.

The starting point has to be objective and based on a skills assessment approved for the intended purposes. We will use the PDA (Personal Development Analysis) method, which is an online psychometric evaluation that analyses and describes the behavioural profile of individuals.
In addition, two other external objective assessments, both to evaluate personal conditions for leadership and English language skills, will be carried out. Other skills that will be worked on generally, as well as aspects linked to this block and to which a teaching load has been assigned, include:

• Concept and process of Self-Knowledge 
• Social or intrapersonal skills: emotional management, empathy, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility 
• Continuous learning attitude
• Digital identity: risks and opportunities
• Data protection and information security

2. Soft Skills

In this block, an attempt has been made to establish a correlation between the skills identified by the CEU Employability Advisory Council and those that world-renowned entities have ranked and related, using both the World Economic Forum model and the one developed in the New CEU Teaching Model. This enables the subject matter to be standardized internally and also against any skills system, facilitating understanding and access to training providers.

The skills included in the program are: 

• Communication skills: written and verbal

• Team work
• Analysis and critical thinking
