Welcome to the College Employability Programme's Understanding & articulating your strengths (UAS) module. UAS will help you to reflect on the range of professional skills and graduate attributes you have developed during your academic, extra-curricular and work-related activities and to communicate these skills to employers. UAS is made up of two separate modules as explained below:
- UAS - Level 1: This module will help you to reflect on the key academic, extra-curricular and work-related experiences you have participated in during your time at university and identify the skills you developed through these experiences. It will then help you to communicate your skills and experiences to employers through competency-based statements.
- UAS - Level 2: This module builds on UAS -Level 1 by aligning your skills and experiences with your future career aspirations and your emerging professional identity. You will produce a Professional identity statement which will communicate the most relevant skills and experiences to employers and can be used for covering letters, job applications and your LinkedIn profile. [UAS - Level 2 is available only after completion of UAS - Level 1]
You will receive formative feedback from our Student Experience Team tutors on all of your work and if you complete UAS - Level 1 or Level 2, you will receive a digital badge and certificate to showcase your achievements and professional development to employers.

I especially loved the elevator pitch we had to do of ourselves to talk about our experiences and skills, in kind of a storytelling way- Vybhav
