Lately I’ve been wondering, what can I offer potential employers? Why should they choose me? 👩💻 📚 Exploring SCIE2001 Professional Employment Skills has been an integral aspect of my academic journey as an undergraduate pursuing a double degree in #BArts and #BScUoN. Embarking on tertiary education later in life, I initially saw obtaining a degree as the key to transforming my career prospects. However, this course has illuminated a deeper truth: true advancement requires more than just academic credentials. It demands introspection, self-reflection, and a thorough exploration of personal values. Only by delving into these aspects can education truly provide the advantage I seek. The course has provided a platform to refine the art of articulating transferable skills to prospective employers. It goes beyond theory - it’s about preparing for the real-world! I have considered not just the skills that I have honed and developed over years of experience but how to evidence them to my advantage. 🌟 STAR is the champion 🌟 ️ ✏S – situation; what context? ✏T – task; what challenge? ✏A – action; what steps? ✏R – result; what impact? My advice to future students of SCIE2001 is that it’s never too early to start shaping your narrative. Consider your goals! Build your personal brand! Develop your employability skills! Cultivate a mindset that embraces a ‘big picture’ perspective, illustrating each facet of your story - be it paid employment, placements, volunteering, extra-curricular activities, and beyond. Be the best person for the job! 🏆🌟 #studyingSCIE2001 #EmployabilitySkills #CareerJourney #FutureLeadership #Learning #BScUoN #SCIE2001 Gert Altmann, Never Stop Learning, https://lnkd.in/grBtSMQ2, CC0 Public Domain

It's a frustrating reality that many HND graduates face - the uphill battle to access further education and opportunities, simply because of the degree they hold. Having worked hard, pushing through difficult circumstances to earn that HND, many find themselves facing closed doors and limited options, all because of an unfair stigma. It's not fair, and it's not right. In certain cases you would find HND holders that are better than Bsc holders due to their hands on training and work experience. Graduating with an HND, a second class lower or even a third class shouldn’t be the death sentence that it feels like for many. Through our end-to-end program, we can help you overcome these barriers and secure admission to a masters programs abroad. We understand the unique challenges you face, and we're here to advocate for your talents and potential. Through our comprehensive guidance and support, we'll work tirelessly to showcase your skills and help you unlock the educational doors that have been closed for too long. Send us a DM now!

Congratulations to Kingston University student Ned New who has recently achieved his Gold Kingston Award! He has developed so many skills, both academically and professionally, and has shown an outstanding commitment to The Scouts! He shares, “I wanted to enhance my CV and show that during my time at university, I completed more than just a degree. The Kingston Award was a way for me to showcase the skills I had gained on my course and from extracurricular activities I have completed. Assessing how I had demonstrated various skills for each of the attributes of the award, allowed me to reflect on different activities I had taken part in. This improved my understanding of what I had gained from completing certain activities. Following on from this, I was able to improve my CV with more tailored examples of skills, supported with activities I had identified when completing the award. Making a start is the most difficult part! It may seem like many attributes to identify and comment on, but the stages of the award help break this down and they can be reflected on at entirely your own pace. The Kingston Award also encourages you to try new things, where your skills may lack in certain aspects, which only helps you become more well-rounded. It has allowed me to make even more of all the other activities I took part in while at university, because I have been able to show what skills they taught me, even though I was less aware of them at the time. Reflecting on the attributes has allowed me to practice choosing specific examples of where I have gained and demonstrated skills. This has enabled me to improve my LinkedIn profile and CV, and I expect will help me when it comes to job interviews in the future. I am still unsure of where I would like to work exactly in the future, but I have a passion to help protect our natural environment, so want to work in a job where I feel I am making a difference.”   We loved reading your reflections Ned New and wish you every success for the future! #TheKingstonAward #KUextra #KingstonUniversity #graduatesuccess #goforgold #professionaldevelopment #reflection #FutureSkills  

There are many skilled trades that result in a rewarding career and pathway to being extremely successful and financially independent.
