Student Skills Development Sessions and Workshops
Colleagues,
The Careers Team have put together a schedule of Skills Development opportunities for NUBS students, this semester.
They will have the exclusive opportunity to participate in specific skills development sessions across the academic year. Students will hear from experienced clients, mentors and peers whose sessions will help them to:
- develop skills that employers look for most during the hiring process
- expand their horizons by adding to their skillset
- plan their future journey and the direction they want to take their career
- understand the way skills overlap across different sectors
- consistently upskill and give them the tools to stand out from the crowd
Learning new skills and knowing what employers are looking for will give our students the best chance when it’s time to enter the job market and follow their chosen career path.
Our Employability Team works closely with those who deliver the skills development sessions, to ensure NUBS students receive the highest calibre and most up to date training, based on what employers are looking for now and in the future.
Keep an eye out for the planned skills sessions and please encourage students to sign up, where possible.
All skills development sessions attended will count towards earning the Global Employability and Cultural Awareness Badge, this academic year.
Below are the sessions confirmed after the Easter Break:
- Screaming Frog: Tuesday 10 May; 10:00 – 11:30 [Online via Zoom]
- Graduate Careers in Tax and Audit with Chartered Accountants Haines Watts: Thursday 19 May; 17:00 – 19:00 [NUBS 2.10]
- Microsoft Office Specialist: Throughout May – Register today to certify in one of more Microsoft Office Specialist exams
*Timings for these extra-curricular sessions have been planned at suitable times to minimise cross over with taught lectures. Some workshops have several sessions in a series – all of these sessions must be attended to successfully complete the course.*
