We are here to help you enhance your employability and achieve your career goals. Whether you are in your first or final year, you can access workshops, consultations, self-guided resources, and leadership opportunities to build your skills and ensure you are industry ready.
Thinking about your employability throughout your studies is important- it can enhance your education, help you to achieve your goals and remain competitive.
The term employability is used in different contexts and in different ways. It can be defined as:
“a set of achievements – skills, understandings and personal attributes – that makes graduates more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which benefits themselves, the workforce, the community and the economy.”
Yorke, M. (2004), Employability in higher education: what it is - what it is not, The Higher Education Academy/ESECT
Employability is not simply getting a job- it refers to a broader set of skills and attributes that will enable you to be successful throughout your working life.
The Student Leadership Award is a formal recognition of your professional development, co-curricular learning, and community contributions undertaken while you have been studying at USC.
It adds value to your resume and job applications by demonstrating your enhanced employability and leadership skills to future employers. You can get involved at any stage throughout your studies.
