TWOPAC - Training Work and Organizational PsychologistsAssessment Reporting Skills

<< Objectives >>TWOPAC aims at improving the holistic problem-solving skillset of industrial & organizational psychology master students in Europe, as many I/O psychology graduates face strong competition when entering the job market and lack the skills on integrating their knowledge into well-formed and evidence-based recommendations for action. By building upon students’ excellent analyzing skills, we will help introduce assessment report writing as a crucial tool to develop holistic problem-solving skills.<< Implementation >>TWOPAC will create novel and interactive teaching and training materials for I/O psychology. They will be used to implement courses on assessment report writing for job analysis, assessment centers, talent management, career management, and psychological risk analyses at partner universities. Apart from content development, we will pilot course formats and improve content based on the feedback received. Finally, we will disseminate the knowledge in national and European dissemination events.<< Results >>A state-of-the-art toolbox of teaching and training materials, including teaching manuals, simulations, tasks, videos. They will be put together in an online repository that I/O psychology teachers and trainers can access. This will involve contents on 5 major topics in I/O psychology: job analysis, assessment centers, talent management, career management, and psychological risk analyses. At the end of the project, we will have developed a very applied approach to I/O psychology teaching.
