ABSTRACT The recent focus on graduate employability has exposed the inadequacies of work preparation for science students, who need an employability toolkit to navigate the complex modern work landscape. We implemented a novel peer mentoring activity that focused on work-capability development for Bachelor of Science undergraduate students. The student experience was evaluated using structured written reflections, student self-assessment, and interviews. Students were most likely to be challenged by the processes of articulating strengths and weaknesses and mentoring another student. Students’ self-reported learning gains were coded against a framework for career management skills – several were strongly evidenced. We found that the short-term mentor/mentee experience described here can pose students with a level of challenge, and that participation in this activity leads to changes in their self-awareness and development of their career management skills.

短期同伴导师/实习生活动可培养理学学士学位的学生的职业管理技能

摘要最近对毕业生就业能力的关注暴露了理科学生的工作准备不足，他们需要就业能力工具包来浏览复杂的现代工作环境。我们针对理学学士学位的本科生开展了一项新颖的同伴指导活动，重点在于工作能力的发展。使用结构化的书面思考，学生的自我评估和访谈来评估学生的经历。阐明优点和缺点和指导另一名学生的过程最有可能使学生受到挑战。根据职业管理技能的框架对学生自我报告的学习成果进行编码-有力地证明了其中的一些。我们发现，此处介绍的短期导师/受训者经历可能会使学生面临挑战，
