Boost your employability this summer with My Attributes and UoB Xtra
Want to stand out to employers, build confidence in your skills and make the most of your summer at UoB? This June, UoB Xtra is giving you the chance to do exactly that.
Alongside the main Summer Term programme, UoB Xtra offers a range of free employability and skills sessions designed to help you prepare for your future, whether you’re moving into your next year of study, applying for placements, or getting ready to graduate.
One of the best places to start is My Attributes, an online tool that helps you recognise and develop the key skills employers are looking for – and know how to talk about them when applying for jobs or opportunities.
Using My Attributes can help you:
- identify your strengths and areas for development
- reflect on experiences and achievements
- build confidence when talking about your skills
- prepare stronger applications, CVs and interview answers
- understand how your experiences connect to employability
From communication and leadership to adaptability and problem-solving, My Attributes allows you to reflect on your experiences, better understand the strengths you already have and identify the areas you can develop.
Develop your skills with UoB Xtra
As part of UoB Xtra, there are also plenty of opportunities to continue developing these skills through workshops, training sessions and employability events. From professional skills sessions and workplace readiness workshops to networking opportunities and accredited training, UoB Xtra is designed to help you build experience while making the most of your time on campus.
Whether you want to strengthen your CV, boost your LinkedIn profile, gain new qualifications or simply feel more confident about your future career, there is something for everyone.
