In this interactive workshop, participants will explore the benefits of applying a competency-based approach to help student-staff develop 21st Century skills. Opportunities are designed to enhance vocational self-efficacy and provide practical experience to support future career interests. Participants will have the opportunity to design competencies for their programs.
In this session, we will use a mix of delivery methods including presentation, small and large group discussion, and individual and small group work. Participants will be introduced to background, literature, and rationale for this session topic, see various examples from our institution, share with and learn from other participants, and have an opportunity to develop and design their own examples of competency-based professional development activities for their tutors, SI leaders, or other staff.
