During this KIVI Carrousel, YKE provides a PREFER (Professional Roles Model for Future EngineeRs) workshop to help you find out what type of engineer you are.

The KU Leuven developed a method to help students and alumni with their starting careers. When you know your talents and abilities, you can be the best you. What do you need to succeed? Now KIVI brings the PREFER test to you! Don't be an actor of your career, be the director!

What type of engineer are you?

Engineering graduates end up in a wide variety of engineering jobs. That is appealing, but makes it difficult to get a grip on the field of engineering at the same time. This website offers you some tools to reflect on your future career as an engineer.

Why should you care?

Research showed that a better understanding of your professional future not only has positive consequences for student learning and study choices but also for employability and job satisfaction.

YKE devided this workshop into two parts to take the time to explain the roles in depth, to take the test together and to discuss our expectations and outcomes. The following PREFER main themes are discussed;

  1. EXPLORE (3th March)
  2. MATCH (10th March) - with KIVI coach

Registration is free of charge for KIVI-members. Non-members are charged €12,95 per session (EXPLORE+MATCH = €25,90). Are you an engineer and would you like to become a KIVI member?
