The challenge addressed by this article is that "skills development is often not (well) embedded in the overall curriculum." So it can be difficult to develop these skills when they're not explicitly defined as curricular outcomes. The response, writes Alexandra Mihai, is "to engage students in working on their professional competencies... by encouraging them to take ownership of their learning and create their own personal development story." This can be supported using some of the resources offered at the end of the article, such as the Reflective Practice Workshop developed by Claire Sewell or the University of Edinburgh Reflection Toolkit.
