There’s more to getting the job you want than having the right degree. Today’s employers are looking for skills you simply won’t get through study alone.
You’ve jumped over hurdles and through hoops and you’ve made it to university. You’ll want to enjoy yourself, make friends, and work towards your degree. But what about after you graduate?
A degree isn’t everything – employers want people who have skills and experience above the ability to study and pass exams. You need to prove to recruiters that you can do the job you want. It’s never too early to start acquiring the necessary credentials.
Why start now?
Transferable skills are essential in finding a job in today’s graduate employment market. At around 37%, the UK has the highest graduation rate for honours degrees in the EU. This means that the UK benefits from a highly-trained workforce, but also that there is a lot of competition for popular jobs. You have to stand out from the crowd. |
