The award will cover two key areas aimed at putting you on the right track to gaining a job: Career development: This is about identifying your career goals by creating a personal career development plan. It also looks into what employers look for in a new employee alongside time management skills they need to develop. Communication: Looking at communication both verbally and non-verbally, team work, presentation skills and creating a positive first impression. The qualification is assessed in a very practical way which complements your degree programme. Over the learning hours you will put together a portfolio which is assessed by your employability coach. All new students joining the first year of an undergraduate degree will be eligible to join the award. If you are a new student joining a four-year course with a foundation year, you will be eligible for the award when you join Year One. Launching in 2015, our Level 4 Employability Award will give students the opportunity to progress on to a higher level employability qualification on successful completion of their Level 3 Award.
