Personal Skills Award employer support

The Personal Skills Award (PSA) is supported by a range of private and public sector organisations.

This gives you, as a PSA student, access to network with graduate recruiters.

  • It gives you a direct insight into what employers are looking for in graduates
  • It keeps you updated with the current graduate recruitment market
  • It gives you access to current job opportunities
  • You can build your employability skills by attending workshops and skills sessions
