Description of the WEU
The University's mission is now to prepare students for careers that, for the most part, do not yet exist. Forecasters predict that in 2030, two-thirds of current students will work in jobs that have not yet been invented. It is therefore necessary to train them in soft skills linked to the spirit of innovation, intellectual curiosity, teamwork, stress management and, more broadly, adaptability. These interpersonal skills, called soft skills, are elements that already make the difference in the eyes of recruiters.
Indeed, on the one hand, there are hard skills, in other words “demonstrable” skills, which are the technical or academic knowledge which is acquired by the individual and which has given rise to grades, degrees or certifications (titles, qualification certificates, diplomas). On the other side, there are soft skills, more informal, which are skills in their own right which 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...
As part of the project “Soft skills: a fundamental issue for the professional integration of students”, students will be offered support 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, 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.
