TRAINengPDP| Training engineers for lifelong learning through a personal development process – case studies from Belgium, Ireland, and Finland The workplace demands continuous learning to keep up with technological advancements and evolving labour market requirements, emphasizing the importance of lifelong learning (LLL) competencies for engineers. Preparing engineering students for their future career and for LLL is the responsibility of the engineering programmes. To support this, the TRAINengPDP project developed pilot interventions focusing on LLL while using a cyclical personal development process (PDP) based on literature reviews, a perception survey, and an analysis of learning outcomes in engineering programmes. Three diverse interventions were implemented in the three partner countries. Student experiences were collected after the pilots using quantitative and qualitative feedback measures. During this lunch seminar we will share our experiences and results of these pilots.
