A personal skills audit follows, evaluating the student's proficiency in communication, reading, task and time management, teamwork, interpersonal skills, taking responsibilities, feedback utilization, and other relevant areas. The audit uses a rating scale to identify strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the report includes a personal development plan, outlining the student's goals for skill improvement, including strategies and timelines for enhancing communication, reading skills, and time management, among others. The plan details specific actions, proficiency targets, and success criteria to guide the student's professional growth over a defined period.
