The stakeholder was very engaged in the interview discussion about redesigning school-to-work transitions, which lasted over 30 minutes. They emphasized the importance of intercultural skills and lifelong learning, suggesting opportunities for students to gain international experience through community service abroad. The stakeholder also focused on developing entrepreneurial mindsets in youth and making the hiring process more about personal fit than skills alone. They saw themselves in a need for continuous learning and stimulation through interdisciplinary experiences.

1. My
impression
is
that
the
SH
was
really
interested
in
the
topic
of
the
interview
and
that
he/she
wanted
to
help
giving
up
posi:ve
contribu:ons
and
be
part
of
this
challenge
(I
had
to
stop
the
interview
at
a
certain
point,
otherwise
we’ll
con:nue
speaking
for
more
than
1
hour).

To

the
“classic

suggested
to
most
high-­‐

Candidates
during

posi:on
Candidates
looking
for
a
job
or
during
a
job
interview
or
during
a
trial
period
should
be
honest
with
themselves.
Their
first
objec:ve
should
be
to
understand
if
the
job
and
context
are
what
they
are
or
were

Con:nuous
interdisciplinary
learning:
most
people
are
usually
not
completely
polarized
by
one
thing
(a
physician
can
have
an
interest
for
computer,
a
mechanical
engineer
can
have
an
interest
in
music,
a
PhD
in
physics
can
be
very
interested
in
something
completely
different).

interview
(no

the
SH
was
really
interested
in
the
topic
and
the
conversa:on
(interview)
went
on
very
well
and
was
more
than
30
min
long.
At
the
beginning
the
SH
was
doing
the

while
doing
something

then
the

stopped
and
decided
to
be
focused
only
on
the
interview
SH
gave
a
strong
importance
to
the
intercultural
and
linguis:c
skills
probably
because
he/she
sees
these
lacks
in
the
everyday
working
life
SH
gave
a
strong
importance
to
the
candidate
approach
to
a
job
interview
and
on
the
personal
skills
(technical
skills
are
important
as
well).
Decisions
that
should
be
done
on
the
staff
are
fundamental!
One
key
of
success
is
to
have
not
the
best
people
but
the
best
mo:vated
onboard!
Con:nuous
learning:
I
think
that
the
SH
was
also
talking
not
only
in
a
general
form
but
also
for
him/herself.
I
think
that
