- Approx: 3,000 Derby university graduates in 2016
- six months after finishing the course.
- Self-management – your readiness to accept responsibility, flexibility, resilience, self-starting, appropriate assertiveness, time management, readiness to improve your own performance based on feedback and reflective learning Team working – respecting others, co-operating, negotiating, persuading, contributing to discussions, your awareness of interdependence with others Problem solving – analysing facts and circumstances to determine the cause of a problem and identifying and selecting appropriate solutions Application of information technology – basic IT skills, including familiarity with commonly used programmes Communication – your application of literacy, ability to produce clear, structured written work and oral literacy, including listening and questioning skills Application of numeracy – manipulation of numbers, general mathematical awareness and its application in practical contexts (eg estimating, applying formulae and spotting likely rogue figures) Business and customer awareness – your basic understanding of the key drivers for business success and the importance of providing customer satisfaction and building customer loyalty http://www.nus.org.uk/Global/CBI_NUS_Employability%20report_May%202011.pdf
- Around one in six businesses reports not being satisfied with the numeracy (14%), use of English (17%) and analytical skills (19%) of graduates. These are worrying figures. Businesses should be able to expect a satisfactory level of competence in all these essential areas among those completing higher education courses. Nearly one in five firms (21%) is also not satisfied with graduates’ problem-solving skills, which should be a prime output of higher education. Even higher proportions are dissatisfied with graduate attitudes to work (25%), teamworking skills (26%) and communication skills (29%). All of these capacities are essential for graduates to be effective and successful in their careers. Effective communication in particular is central to almost all management and leadership functions. One of the reasons relevant workplace experience is so widely valued in graduate candidates (Exhibit 77) is that it helps build understanding of a chosen field of work and develop general business awareness. A third of businesses (33%) report graduates do not have a satisfactory level of knowledge about their chosen job or career. This is particularly true in manufacturing, where levels of dissatisfaction climb to 43% of respondents. Close to half of respondents (46%) also voice dissatisfaction with graduates’ levels of business and customer awareness. There is clearly more to do to help students understand the importance of gaining relevant experience and to help them absorb the lessons they learn in the process. Those candidates who can show a good grasp are plainly at a significant advantage in the jobs market.
- Course Work Building up examples of your teamwork experience based on your course work is a useful starting point. For example, you may have taken part in a team presentation as part of your course. Or perhaps you had to submit a group report for assessment. What role did you play when preparing the work? Did anything go wrong during the preparations? Did you help to put it right? Find Part time Work Not only a great way to earn money to keep you going whilst you study, part-time work will help you to increase your employability skills and will impress employers. Work such as stacking shelves, or working in a shop, can show that you have customer care experience and are accustomed to working in a team with others. Volunteer! Visit our jobs vacancy database for details of volunteering opportunities in the local community. For example, if you are interested in conservation work, there are many local environmental projects. Not only can you help local groups, this will give you a chance to demonstrate that you are used to working with others and give you a bank of evidence/ to draw upon when filling in application forms. Start Preparing Your CV If you are applying for a part time job whilst studying at the University, many employers will ask you to send in your CV (resumé). Your CV is your marketing tool. It summarises your qualifications, experience and skills. If you start preparing your CV now, it can also act as a template that you can develop as you progress through University. This will save you a lot of time in the future if you have all your information collected in one place. As you develop more evidence of your teamworking skills, you can add it to your CV and develop a strong bank of evidence that will help when you come to apply for graduate jobs. Careers and Employability has a range of resources to help you to write a CV and/or covering letter. These can be picked up in person from Careers and Employability or found online. Get Involved! Get involved in clubs, societies or with the Students' Union. All of these activities will help develop your personal skills. For example, if you have been involved in sporting activities such as rugby, this can show your teamworking skills; if you are a member of a role playing group, this can show evidence of your communication skills and your ability to work alongside others. As well as having fun or keeping fit, you will greatly enhance your CV. Perhaps you could join a student committee so you can demonstrate your teamwork skills.
