In Short
Graduating from your study might be as hard as it is already. But on top of that, students need to think about their next steps; do they want to continue with another study? Do they want to start working? And what type of career do they even want? Making well-informed decisions about your career can be hard when you do not know where to start. There are so many resources, information and other supportive options available but how do you make sense of it all?
The world of Expedition Career is a series of games designed to support career development in graduates of Industrial Design and help students figure out ‘what is next?’. Each game is designed to support a specific need and facilitate gamified and embodied learning. Through the playing of games, students are able to explore various topics concerning their own career development and even be encouraged to take action. The digital platform supports game play and in-game discoveries/reflections but also facilitates a new way of logging and tracking the career development of graduates.
