The University of the Free State (UFS) Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is introducing a free Enterprising your Degree: ePortfolio Development Module (EDED3722) on its Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa campuses during the second
CTL graduate progamme
semester to prepare final-year students for the workplace.

EDED3722 is an eight-credit module that will assist students to
• assess their undergraduate skills and promote themselves to employers, investors, and peers; and
• create their own website that exhibit their abilities as well as an outstanding professional LinkedIn profile.
Students will also receive frequent feedback on these activities, as well as potential career guidance. However, successful candidates must attend weekly sessions and submit assignments on a regular basis.

If you are interested in this pilot project and meet the requirements, please complete the questionnaire, check your UFS4life email for a communication from EDED@ufs.ac.za, follow the instructions, and complete the DV form. You will receive an email after your registration is complete.

For additional information, please contact EDED@ufs.ac.za.
