Skills in Action: From Life Stories to Self-Awareness and Self-Discovery

This paper describes the learning outcomes achieved by the three target groups (graduates, PhDs, and civil service volunteers) who took part in the interactive psycho-pedagogical workshop developed by the SINAPSI University Center (University of Naples Federico II), starting from the academic year 2019-2020. The workshop is designed to help students develop employability skills and successfully transition from university to work. Students are encouraged to narrate both themselves and their training and learning experiences with the help of specific narrative-autobiographical devices. By exploring their own selves, students learn to identify their potential being relative to the context in which they live and make conscious decisions about their future training and career paths.
