Previous Participants

Here´s what previous participants have to say about the Skills for Work Certificate programme:

"The Skills for Work Certificate is a programme I would highly recommend for students of any year at the University of Sheffield. This programme not only helped me develop the required skills for my future career but it helped me strengthen existing ones. In completing the certificate it increased my focus and determination during my final year of study."

"The Skills for Work Certificate programme has really helped me identify and understand the skills and knowledge I am gaining from my work experience. The programme makes you really analyse your work and you begin to see how much you have learnt and feel a lot more confident about writing CVs and going to job interviews. I would recommend it purely for the confidence it gives you about entering the world of work!"

"The Skill Record Sheet is a very good way to reflect on what I have learned in the process of working."

"I really enjoyed being able to develop specific skills whilst doing my work experience. It made the experience as a whole more worthwhile."

"I felt that every exercise had some sort of practical purpose and really made me think about my skills, career choice and what to do next. Everything was relevant."

"I would definitely recommend the Certificate to my fellow students. It allows you to show companies that you have more to offer than just a degree and it will definitely give you a lot to talk about at future interviews."

"I'm glad I took part as it made me realise how valuable work experience and the skills I gained were."
