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.
