SWOT
Strategic analysis matrix known as SWOT critically assesses organisations strengths and opportunities, as well as identifies threats and minimises
weaknesses as stated by Sandybayev and Derkan (2015 [online]). Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, existing within a company,
whereas opportunities and threats external factors, facing company from outside. All-important, weaknesses can turn into strengths, as well as
threats into opportunities over time and vice versa (Marydee, 2017 [online]).

which are already skilful. Personal strengths are core values which serve as a competitive advantage, such as abilities, talents and attributes. The
lack of expertise and skills develop weaknesses, however to manage in a long-term will enhance potential for personal growth (Thum, 2013

Tascoine (1996 [online]) self-assessment is vital in enhancing self-confidence by acknowledging and tackling the obstacles as well as reinforcing
opportunities for future academic development.
