These programs focus on developing non-technical skills such as communication and problem-solving. Additionally, WIL programs equip graduates with career management knowledge and work-based projects, enabling them to become job-ready.<\/p><p>The benefits of WIL programs include an increase in self-efficacy, including work self-efficacy and career decision-making self-efficacy. These programs also assist students in choosing a suitable career path, clarifying their career goals, and developing their professional identity. Furthermore, recent graduates often express the perceived benefits of participating in WIL programs.<\/p><p>Moreover, the CPS establishment has significantly improved the employability rate of students by integrating Career Management Skills Development Programs into their WIL training. These programs aim to prepare students for WIL placements and help them maximize the potential of their WIL experience.<\/p><p>The purpose of this study is to examine how a learning unit focused on professional development skills and a work-integrated learning course impact employment and further study opportunities for students who have completed their undergraduate studies. Since students often struggle to directly connect their education to job outcomes, and different fields of study may have diverse job prospects, it is beneficial to incorporate WIL courses into their studies to explicitly create opportunities for the development of their professional skills.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Program Description<\/strong><\/p><p>The primary objective of the on-the-job training program is to investigate the students\u2019 abilities and to enhance their high capacity to perform in real-time jobs, Fundamental Investigate Pathway, offers a unique opportunity to gain practical experience and mentorship in conducting and\/or analyzing primary research studies.<\/p><p>By actively participating in these studies, students have the potential to contribute significantly and may even be recognized as high achievers or receive acknowledgements in publications, depending on their contributions and the timelines of the studies.<\/p><p>Additionally, students will have access to a wide range of resources, including comprehensive programs and diverse citations, related to fundamental research and academic disciplines. They will also have the chance to collaborate with researchers within the same program of study.<\/p><p>The program is designed to last between three to six months, during which time students will work closely with a specific supervisor or research group. If desired, students can repeat the program with a different supervisor or project to gain exposure to different research areas and objectives.<\/p><p>Admission into the program is contingent upon the
