- account for different sectors and for what skills are in demand, as well as be able to describe the labour market in the region in relation to one's own education and experience
- reflect on and describe one's own role as engineer or architect in relation to earlier education and experience, and in relation to the Swedish labour market
- network in an efficient way in one's own sector in order to survey and analyse one's individual labour market
- compile and reflect on an individual portfolio containing: a CV, experiences from visits and smaller studies, analysis of skills, and a plan for one's studies and career
