Description of the WEU

The University's mission is now to prepare students for jobs that, for the most part, do not yet exist. Forecasters predict that in 2030, two-thirds of current students will be working in jobs that have not yet been invented. It is therefore necessary to train them in the soft skills related to the spirit of innovation, intellectual curiosity, teamwork, stress management and, more broadly, adaptability. These soft skills, called soft skills, are elements that already make a difference in the eyes of recruiters.

Indeed, on the one hand, there are hard skills, in other words "demonstrable" skills, which are technical or academic knowledge that is acquired by the individual and which has given rise to grades, grades or certifications (titles, qualification certificates, diplomas). On the other hand, there are soft skills, more informal, which are skills in their own right that can be an opportunity to become aware of one's own strengths and which are increasingly valued within the company in France: listening, teaching, empathy, adaptability, creativity, stress management, etc.

As part of the project "Soft skills: a fundamental issue for the professional integration of students", students will be offered supervision aimed at consolidating their learning, focusing on teamwork, collaborative work, group dynamics, networking, conflict resolution between peers, leading meetings and working groups based on creative and participatory methods, agile project management, public speaking and the ability to convince, etc.

All major areas of soft skills will be worked on:

· Emotion area: self-confidence, self-esteem, autonomy, identification of one's added value, adaptability to one's environment

· Cognitive area: capacities for analysis, synthesis, creativity.

· Action area: taking initiative, will, ability to set goals and achieve them, entrepreneurial spirit.

· Social area: communication, collaboration and conflict resolution skills.
