EmployABILITY thinking involves exploration, risk and creativity. These characteristics are evident in the career story titled ‘Trying things out’, from Danish freelance trumpeter Jeppe Uggerhoej.
When he was inyerviewed, Jeppe was a university graduate who had decided to create a portfolio career rather than pursue a full time role. His story demonstrates to students that lifestyle decisions can drive career decisions and that the flexibility of self-employment can for some people be a perfect fit.
At the back of the resource you will find more information as well as sample questions on learning from biographies and career stories.
‘Trying things out’ is most effective if students have first created a personalised employABILITY profile as part of the 6-step Developing EmployABILITY process.
