Commentary on findings 2 Oral Communication 2 Fluency in a Second Language 3 Presentation skills and time management 3 Skills considered of least importance 3 5. Recommendations 3 What transferable skills should students develop during their time at university? 1. Introduction Transferable skills can be described as ‘skills developed in one situation which can be transferred to another situation’ e.g. problem-solving, decision-making, or communication skills. These skills are also known as ‘soft skills’, ‘key skills’ or ‘generic skills’ and are essential in all areas of life, not just in learning or work situations. In recent years Higher Education institutions have begun to identify particular transferable skills they wish their own graduates to develop during their time in third-level education. However, an essential part of identifying important skills for students to develop is to seek the opinions of students themselves. The focus of this HEA-funded project is on modern language students. Hence this survey was conducted with this student cohort only, rather than with a cross-section of the student body. Most surveys undertaken to ascertain students’ opinions on the important transferable skills for them to develop, have been surveys of diverse student populations. It is interesting to note that...

...Institute of Medicine ( IOM) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health was published in 2010. This report looked at the most trusted profession in the United States, nursing, to recommend practice and insure safe quality care to citizens in the coming years. Through its deliberations, the committee developed four key messages: Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training, nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression, nurses should be full partners, with physicians and other health care professionals, in redesigning health care in the United States and effective workforce planning and policy making require better data collection and information infrastructure.("Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health," 2013) This paper will focus on the impact of the IOM report on nursing education, nursing practice and the role of nurses. Impact of the IOM Report on Nursing Education As centuries pass by, the technology and education needs for members of the healthcare team increase and become more complex. 100 years ago nurse education consisted of 2-3 years of training in a hospital setting ending up with a diploma. In 2010, the IOM report suggested that by 2020, 80% of nurses should be Bachelor prepared. Bachelor degree programs are 4 year programs and provide community health, leadership and research classes in addition to the...

...Career Comparison for Accountants and Financial Analysts Prepared for Sara Ray Prepared by Career Consultant June 16, 2013 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Sara Ray 123 Brookside Dr. Holbrook, NJ 75486-1256 June 21, 2013 Dear Sara, Here is the report you requested on June 1st for a comparison between of a career as an accountant and a financial analyst. Based off our conversation, we took your interests and previous work experience into consideration as we compared specific criteria between these two careers. While working for your previous employer as a junior accountant, you show your ability for detail and organization. An accountant must possess these skills as well as the ability to work independently. I also gathered from our conversation that you are not one to handle a tremendous amount of pressure well. As a financial analyst, this is a skill that is required. You could be faced with many deadlines that could be very stressful. Your education course of study was also included to compare to the education requirements of each career and even though there are many similarities between the two, there are many differences. For example, both careers require good written and oral comprehension but an accountant needs to have excellent mathematic skills and be able to choose the right formula to solve a problem. This skill is not as important as a financial analyst as is the ability to develop solutions to complex problems that need to be solved....

...Development Planning For Postgraduate Research Students Postgraduate Personal Development Planning 1 INTRODUCTION Personal Development Planning (PDP) is a process already present in most PhD supervision and study practices. PDP is ‘a structured and supported process undertaken by an individual to reflect upon their own learning, performance and/or achievement and to plan for their personal, educational and career development’ (QAA 2001). This handbook provides guidelines for Postgraduate Research students at Queen’s on what PDP involves and to help you to get the most out of the process. Please note that there may be slight variations or specific requirements for you in your School or subject area. Key features of PDP: • PDP is an ongoing process, not a single document, nor is it carried out at a single point in time. • It provides you with the opportunity to plan, reflect on and record your progress, development and achievements. • PDP formalises good practice in working for and supervising a research degree. • PDP is a structured and supported process. The structure and support is provided by: - The Skills Analysis Questionnaire - The Postgraduate Skills Training Programme (PSTP) - Records of meetings with your supervisor(s) - Training plans - Formal reviews – 3 month, differentiation, and annual monitoring - Records and evidence of your achievement - Your evaluation and reflection of your progress, achievements and skills - Your research diary or log book or project management...

...Research Proposal 1. Title Opportunities with a NEU Accounting Diploma Holder 2. Statement of the problem/background of Research subject We’re studying for an Accounting Diploma and during courses a key question arises, “what could we do with that Diploma in the future?” Hearing opinions from a lecturer about Accounting - an “impossible-to-be-rich” job, discussing with friends how boring an accountant get, all of those have cast a shadow on our believe in a promising career prospect. Therefore, we decided to carry out a research to answer that question. We will conduct our survey within a group of 80 people which includes undergraduated students, graduated students and lecturers in Faculty of Accounting. 3. Theoretical framework. - Question Answered on Accounting Career by Caitlind Alexander - Careers in Accounting ,4th Ed.

Furthermore, the research will make my friends who are Accounting students have stronger beliefs...

...2012 National Research Report Why Did They Enroll? The Factors Influencing College Choice An analysis of traditional-aged students What matters to students when deciding where to enroll? There are a variety of factors that influence a student’s decision to enroll. Factors such as cost and the availability of financial aid are universally important at all types of institutions. However, other factors can vary widely by institution type, demographics, class level, and whether the student enrolled at his or her top choice. Every year, hundreds of campuses administer the Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory™ (SSI) to their students. In addition to more than 70 items rated for importance and satisfaction on the general student experience, the SSI includes nine items that address factors in a student’s decision to enroll. During the fall of 2011, more than 55,000 students from more than 100 public and private fouryear and two-year institutions completed the SSI. These students rated the factors to enroll items on a scale of one (meaning not important at all) to seven (very important). This report details the responses from the nationwide pool of data. In particular, this report has a special emphasis on the nearly 22,000 first-year students who responded in order to see which items scored higher with ratings of important or very important (a ranking of six or seven on the answer scale). Comparisons with upperclass students and between students at their first-choice institution...
