The Closing Session of the curricular unit "Transversal Competences for Science and Technology" (CTCT) took place last 23rd February. CTCT is a curricular unit that associates soft skills issues, so important for a successful access to the job market, with spreadsheet analytics - a tool of most utility in the area of S & T.
In CTCT, students of the 1st year of FCT NOVA take contact with areas as different as Curriculum Planning for Employability, Time Management, Teamwork, Leadership, Advanced Use of Spreadsheets, Bibliographic Research, Information Analysis, Ethics, Deontology and Communication in S & T.
In "transversal" classes with students from all FCT courses, with weekly groups of 4 students of different courses and with practical, fun but demanding learning, the students perceive that the professional market is waiting for them and that it is from the first year that they must prepare for this reality.
In these 5 years of operation, 117 teachers with different backgrounds were prepared for months to fit the CTCT context, which they shared with more than 5500 students!
