The
Professional Development Transcript (PDT)
is a tool provided by the MSOE
Career Services Department to help you plan and keep track of your skills and
experiences. In addition to your technical background, employers look for the
following skills:
Critical thinking/problem solving
Communication
Leadership
Ability to work in a team
Relationships
Comfort with diversity
Global interactions
The purpose of the PDT is to have you do an ongoing self-assessment, identify
strengths and challenges, and serve as a guide to develop strategies to improve in
these seven skill areas enhancing your overall professional development. It is a
self-generated and maintained document that you can use to prepare for
interviews for employment or acceptance to graduate school.
The PDT will allow you to:
1) Select activities or experiences you have been involved in
2) Identify the skills related to that activity
3) Reflect and record how you developed or applied those skills
