Undergraduate Computing Student Work Readiness Survey Data from Botswana

Botswana undergraduate computing students' self-reported work readiness before and after a consultant-client project module. The dataset contains survey results from 32 matched pre-test and post-test responses measuring organizational acumen, work competence, social intelligence, and personal characteristics.

• Comparing trends in organizational acumen and social intelligence development
• Evaluating the impact of structured consultant-client project workflows on overall work readiness
• Assessing the reliability of adapted Work Readiness Scale subscales in a computing education context

Strengths

• Includes matched pre-test and post-test responses from 32 students
• Uses a validated and adapted Work Readiness Scale with subscales for organizational acumen, work competence, social intelligence, and personal characteristics
• Statistical analysis includes internal consistency reliability checks and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests
