Piloting of the Reboot training programme will provide valuable information for finalising the Reboot training to eb delivered as independent online training and as blended learning.

The aim of the Reboot training is to develop the work-related soft skills of higher education graduates, and to provide graduates tools to recognise and manifest these skills to be used in job seeking and in planning career paths. Today soft skills are more important than ever, in both work life but also in personal life. This becomes even more evident during the times of crises. For example, a coronavirus pandemic contributes to the importance of insecurity and creativity in soft skills such as problem-solving skills.

The Reboot training consists of three skill modules, a module focusing on career flexibility and portfolio, and a skills self-testing. The training material will be freely available for anyone interested.
