Showcasing co-curricular achievements in a meaningful way alongside the formal degree provides our graduates with a competitive advantage as they enter the workforce. The university encourages all staff members engaging students in these activities to be part of a university wide effort to support and recognise our students through this process.
These opportunities help students build on their skills and experiences for professional growth and job readiness. Employers seek candidates who demonstrate strong career readiness skills, as they are essential for workplace success in today's dynamic and competitive job market.
