This report from the CBI/NUS is available at
http://ow.ly/58zac and contains lots of wise words on how to improve your value in the employment market after you get your degree.
It covers areas like:
- thinking about what you want from your time at University
- the value of early careers advice and career decision making
- the key skills employers say they want and how satisfied they actually are with the skills of new recruits
- how to use your course to improve your workplace skills
- the value of work placements and voluntary work
- getting the most from life at University
- the importance of reflecting on and recording your progress...
...plus lots of more detailed advice on what to do to maximise your potential in all of the above areas. Overall a good, common sense read for everyone who wants a successful career after University and a bit of an antidote to the
more cynical view of employability I posted on a couple of months ago.
