We know that employers are actively seeking graduates with transferable skills. The TSU is focusing on seven of these skills:
- Communication
- Collaboration
- Problem Solving
- Creativity
- Critical Thinking
- Digital Skills
- Sustainability Literacy and Action
Recognising your transferable skills and their value will help you talk confidently about your capability and achievements.
Building your ePortfolio of evidence of transferable skills and earning UL-recognised digital badges, both of which can be shared with future employers, will give you a boost in a competitive job market.
As a UL student, you are developing transferable skills in many areas of your life: your modules, work placement, erasmus, volunteering, involvement with student organisations, as well as a range of off-campus activities.
At the Transferable Skills Unit, our aim is to help you to develop and reflect on these skills, and to keep a record of your skills development journey. You can then use this to boost your degree by applying for digital badges in recognition of your skills.
We call this 'The Three Rs'
