In today鈥檚 competitive market, building skills and experiences to make yourself stand out to employers is becoming more and more important. While your degree prepares you with technical skills employers are increasingly looking for graduates that are proficient in 鈥榮ofter鈥� transferable skills in addition to specialised knowledge from a degree.
In response to this need we have created The 蜜桃AV Graduate Skills Programme, which is free and available to all current 蜜桃AV students. It provides a structured approach to your career development and helps you build confidence in the personal and professional skills that employers are looking for. It also helps in how to apply these to a job, placement, or graduate position.
