What is World of Work

Higher education's ultimate achievement is to position the undergraduate towards professionalism successfully. Recently, higher education institutes have recognized this need and offered various services to realistically place students in the world of work. Throughout the academic journey, undergraduates acquire the hard and soft skills to meet the demands of the work world. Nevertheless, properly positioning undergraduates in the world of work is a self-responsibility and exploration journey. Therefore, this chapter introduces a self-directed mechanism under the title of career compass and elaborates on seven steps that undergraduates need to follow for success in their career or professional development. These seven steps positively contribute to lifelong personal and professional development.
