CAREER PASSPORT

The Career Passport is an online dashboard that provides a summary of your career activity and achievements, both inside and outside the classroom, including the competencies developed through our Professional Fitness & Mental Wealth programme.

These modules will be added automatically to your Passport, while you can add further examples of skills you’ve developed and store interview material to make sure your job applications hit the mark.

The Career Passport sets out learning pathways, showing you how to enhance your 'career readiness' and take you to the next level.

You can also rack up awards in volunteering, mentoring, funded internships and more.

When applying for jobs the Career Passport goes above and beyond the traditional CV, making learning more transparent and transferable across sectors.

It's a great way to showcase your skills to employers.
