CW1 - Group presentation

The purpose of the CW is to enable you to identify personal aptitudes, skills, and their application in shaping your professional identity.
You are expected to collect reliable data related to the chosen job/profession. Then structure and present personal ideas both in groups
and individually, in an oral presentation format. Your research, content, and design of Power Pont Slides contribute to a shared mark
(60%). Delivery skills (body language, eye contact, voice projection) and language accuracy contribute to an individual mark (40%). Below
you can find detailed instructions on an oral presentation.
1) Form a group of 2-3 people based on the job interest.
2) Explore careers using different sources that provide career information. Here is an indicative list of resources you could use. You may
also refer to the following sources, but do not limit yourself only to those:
● Occupational Outlook Handbook, available from: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/home.htm
● Careers Portal, available from: https://careersportal.ie/index.php
● CollegeGrad, available from: https://collegegrad.com/
● UzJobs, available from: https://uzjobs.uz/e/index.html
● Headhunter, available from: https://tashkent.hh.uz/
● UK government national careers: https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/explore-careers
● Canada Explore careers website, available from: https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/trend-analysis/search-occupations
● Career One stop, https://www.careeronestop.org/Toolkit/Careers/Occupations/occupation-
profile.aspx?&keyword=Business%20Intelligence%20Analysts&location=United%20States&onetcode=15-2051.01
● O Net Online, https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/15-2051.01

3) Choose one job related to the majors offered by the University (e.g., Business analyst, economist, marketing specialist, lawyer,
etc.). Research the following:

● What are the job responsibilities?

● What skills and abilities are needed to perform this job?
● What education and/or training is required to perform the job responsibilities?
● Is the job demanded in the job market currently? What is the level of demand?
● Is the occupation projected to grow, decline, or remain unchanged? Why?
● How much does this occupation pay? What do the top 10 percent earn? The bottom 10 percent?

4) Find someone with a job in the profession you are interested in, and interview him or her to find out:
● What the person likes and dislikes about the job.
● What advice the person would give to someone interested in a career in this field.
5) Using all this information, prepare a 14–21-minute presentation supported Power Point Slides. Your presentation should outline the
following points:

• Results of your exploration into occupation, job market, and employment trends.
• A summary of qualifications, skills, and abilities, as well as personal qualities and interests an individual needs to fit this occupation
 • Possible ways in which students can develop/enhance those skills and aptitudes (e.g., courses (short and long-term volunteer
activities, internships, etc.) with a possible time frame to meet the job requirements.
6) You will deliver an oral presentation in a group of 2-3 students on the assigned date (TW12/13)
7) You will receive feedback after the presentation is delivered.
