A. General Test for Freshmen
Combined with our annual “Career Success Experience Camp for Freshman” activity, the general UCAN’s career interest test for freshmen is conducted, led by professional counselors and teachers who have industry experience. Through the results of the test and the interpretation, the students can understand their career interests and required abilities better so as to prepare for the future in advance and think about their career direction. Furthermore, through the feedback from the effective questionnaires of the past activities, students can learn how to use UCAN for career planning, early planning, and preparation for future direction and employment. At the same time, students can use UCAN to understand the careers and the functions corresponding to each interest and use the “Platform for Student Career Development” to know themselves and the workplace.
B. UCAN’s Career Workshop
Open for students to apply for consultation in small groups and workshops for career planning. We imported UCAN and the employment matching platform called “Website of Dream Career” (職涯圓夢網)to assist students to understand career development, complete employment matching and learning guidance so as to improve students’ employment rates.
