The IPTICAR PPPE Guide supports higher education institutions in designing, implementing and monitoring the Student Personal and Professional Project.
The PPPE is conceived as a structured tool for guidance, student support, employability and academic success. It helps students better understand their skills, aspirations, mobility opportunities and career prospects, while supporting them in the gradual development of their individual pathway.
The guide provides a practical approach to defining PPPE objectives, identifying the stakeholders involved, organising the different stages of support and introducing appropriate tools. It covers key areas such as student induction and guidance, skills identification, career exploration, mobility preparation, professional project development and pathway monitoring.
It also highlights the PPPE as a governance tool. Information collected on students’ aspirations, needs and trajectories can help institutions improve their academic offer, strengthen links with socio-economic partners and better integrate internationalisation into student pathways.
The guide is intended for institutional leaders, academic coordinators, teaching staff, career guidance and employability services, internationalisation units and staff involved in student support.
Through methodological guidance, examples and practical tools, it aims to encourage a coherent, progressive and sustainable implementation of the PPPE within higher education institutions.
