DESIGN THINKING

PROTOTYPE & TEST

how to prepare universities to teach students how to become a good employee (how to succeed during an interview, how to be helpful, handy and appreciated at work etc.)

PROBLEM

IDEAS

• the most practical idea (one that could be easily implemented): analyzing during regular classes with students: job offers, their CVs, skills, needs...

• the most disruptive idea (one that would make a huge impact, regardless of how feasible or affordable it is)big project: finding a job for every student (for summer) to help them find out how working looks like, how to communicate in corpo life and teach them during job labs with HR experts and other specialists how to behave at work, at interviews, how to develop skills, how to improve themselves

Insight from tested person:- Change sequence of subjects- More subjects – new ideas: visiting

companies; create a web site about looking for a job; courses

2nd prototype (for the most disruptive idea)

finding a job for every student (for summer) to help them find out how working looks like, how to communicate in corpo life and teach them during job labs with HR experts and other specialists how to behave at work, at interviews, how to develop skills, how to improve themselves

I think that role –playing could be the best for this case but I don’t have a possibility to prepare it right now - sorry so I draw a simple picture which contains the situations I would like to show during role-playing

Insight from tested person- Having an opportunity to try to work in

different companies, different industries- Changing a departmant every month to know

better various areas
