SkillMill

A study abroad experience is often both enriching and challenging beyond our expectations. These constant adaptions mean constant training in personal and professional skills. The problem is we are often not aware of the acquired skills. This is a missed opportunity. In the highly competitive job market, these soft skills can be the deciding factor that provide us with the first employment. SkillMill aims to combine the unique expertise and pedagogics of career counsellors, study abroad experts and game designers, to develop a game that helps students identify, understand & verbalize the soft skills trainings that transform our international experiences into personal development and international merits.
