The Transition, Development and Success (TDS) focus-area consists of 4 main projects:  

1. UFSS – a compulsory, year-long First Year Seminar positioned as a module for first year students to help them transition into university, and introduce them to career development and career decision-making.  
2. Graduate Attributes – an institutional project to foster the development of the competencies and skills that employers are looking for in employees. These attributes are critical thinking, problem solving, written communication, oral communication, ethical reasoning, community engagement, and entrepreneurial mindset.  
3. EDED – a capstone positioned as a module for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students to teach them to reflect, take stock of their skillset, and articulate that to future employers through different types of ePortfolios.  
4. Digital Skills and Competencies – this project started in 2022 and so there will not be much written on it, but its purpose is to help our students develop the digital skills and competencies they need to be successful in their studies, and successful in the workplace.
