This workbook helps final-year university/college students look at their growth during their time as students. Universities and colleges want their students to grow in many areas and create rich environments to help this happen. But has the student grown? The best person to answer this question is the student, and a good way to help the student do this is through targeted reflection, hence this workbook.
After completing this workbook, students will have captured many important insights about themselves and their growth. These insights will help students talk about their growth in interviews and populate professional profiles. The workbook can, therefore, serve as an aid for career unit staff. It can be completed by students independently. It can also be used as part of career-preparation workshops.
A unique strength of this workbook is the areas that students are reflecting upon: graduate attributes. All universities and colleges have sets of attributes they aim for their students to attain by graduation. Completed workbooks give institutions valuable insights into attribute attainment in a set of core areas.
Another strength of this workbook is the level at which students are reflecting: the whole-of-course/program/university level. Completed workbooks can also contribute to an institution’s quality assurance review.
The workbook should be completed by students about to graduate (i.e., final-year/senior students). Ideally, this would be in the last few months at their institution (e.g., within the last term/semester).
