How to use My Attributes:
Review
Access the assessment section to answer 24 questions to self-audit your skills and attributes. After completing the section, you will gain a personal overview of the skills and attributes that are your strengths and those that you might seek to develop further.
Develop
Once you’ve completed the assessment, you’ll gain access to learning pathways for each of the graduate attributes. Access the learning pathways to develop your knowledge and understanding about the graduate attributes through the completion of self-directed online learning activities. Introductory and advanced learning activities are available for you to work through at your own pace.
Reward
Complete four attribute reflections on activities you fell have helped you to develop one or more of the graduate attributes and be rewarded by gaining The Birmingham Award on your graduation transcript. By showcasing what you have done at university through The Birmingham Award you will have evidence on your university transcript that you have developed attributes that are highly sought after by employers.
Your reflections will be assessed based on how well you articulate your personal development through the activities you completed. You could write a reflection on different types of activities you have undertaken that you think have helped you develop one or more of the attributes. For example, you could write about your current or past jobs, about being a Guild or student representative, about taking part in a course or event, about volunteering or taking part in a community event.
Once you have gained The Birmingham Award you will be well placed to complete The Birmingham Award with distinction or Post-graduate Professional Development Award which will allow you to demonstrate further committment to developing your skills, attributes and overall employability.
