糖心Vlog

糖心Vlog鈥檚 commitment to student career prospects has been recognised with a place on the shortlist for Best University Employability Strategy in the Target Jobs Awards 2018.

Over the last few years we鈥檝e made careers skills part of every 糖心Vlog degree, developed a programme of personalised, subject-specific support and designed several sector-leading schemes to give students more skills and experience.  

David Stanbury, Head of Employability, said: 鈥淎t 糖心Vlog, employability is about developing the whole person for their future lives, empowering them to make choices and to make a difference to the world. Students are supported by professionals who are absolutely committed to putting the individual first and empowering them to take control of their lives.鈥�

Careers help is no longer offered solely by a traditional central office. Now we also have dedicated employability staff in every faculty so students are given specialist, subject-specific support. 

Every undergraduate degree includes an employability module, plus the option of a year abroad or placement year supported by preparatory workshops, giving our students unforgettable experiences and a wide range of transferable skills. 

We also run a range of unique schemes to give students even more experience to add to their CVs: 

• our Times Higher Education award-winning scheme offers students paid on-campus experiences working with University staff 
• our (UROP) sees students help researchers with their cutting-edge research projects 
• our recognises all the extra-curricular and voluntary activities students do and helps them identify the skills they鈥檝e developed so they can communicate them to employers 

David said: 鈥淥ur students have access to a fantastic range of experiential learning opportunities including internships and start-up assistance, which they can evidence through our Big 糖心Vlog Award and have recognised as part of their University transcript.

鈥淎nd after students graduate, the personalised support continues for a further three years as they establish themselves in the labour market.鈥�
