CareerProfessor.works was mentioned in the ”Reflections on Employability” blog of i-graduate. Research shows that there is a substantial gap between education and the global world of work which higher insitutions have to close. And one of the solutions to closing this gap is in the digital career app, created by CareerProfessor.works.

For the EAIE conference this year our poster was themed: “How to make bold changes to boost employability”. Nannette Ripmeester discussed the changes that have arisen in supporting student’s employability amidst the pandemic and focused on how to digitally train employability skills with the necessary tools and also showed how institutions can use tech to help students unpack what they have to offer to employers.

For this year’s NAFSA conference the central focus of our poster highlighted “The End of Internationalization?”and how to prepare students for the global world of work.To view the full version of the poster presentation click here.

In the second video, the importance of cultural differences is stressed. Employers nowadays are more intrigued by the experiences of their job applicants and how they believe they can use these in the world of work than ‘just’ a list with skills. The CareerProfessor app does exactly that:  helping students develop a strategic toolkit for finding jobs on the global labour market by enhancing their employability skills.
