Course purpose and overview
Too often students complete their degrees not having thought about how they can showcase their skills and talents to prospective employers. BSNS299 helps you prepare for the transition from study to work by compiling a set of resources that will make securing a job after graduation that much easier.

The employability portfolio is comprised of five assessment activities that require you to reflect on the skills and attributes you have developed, either directly through your studies or through extra-curricular activities, and how these may be of value for future employment. BSNS299 provides you with a framework to reflect on your experiences and bring these together in a way that is meaningful for both you and your future employer.

All the resources required to complete the UC Employability Portfolio are available on LEARN only and the course is completed wholly online. There are no weekly lectures for BSNS299, however, an initial face-to-face introductory session will be held to get you off to a good start and introduce you to key staff. It is important that you attend this session. In addition to the online learning resources, the UC Careers Team will run scheduled sessions to assist with various activities such as CV development etc.
