Why SkillsLab

Various companies especially interested in TU/e students have emphasized the importance of professional skills. In the high-performance workplaces of today, people need to be able to present themselves, be creative, show (self) leadership and adopt an entrepreneurial attitude towards their work and their lives. Therefore, professional skills such as presentation skills, teamwork skills and writing skills are more important than ever. Young professionals need to bring more to the table than their technical knowledge and an engineering degree. It is the TU/e's ambition to support students with their professional skills development.

What do students, professors and employers think about skills?

In December 2015 we brought the issue of professional skills to the table. Students, professors and employers talked about the importance of social and professional skills in the work places of today and the role of students, the university and companies in the development of these skills.
