This refers to experience and skills that employers will value. It might be experience you have had working in a restaurant, or another previous job, being a committee member for a sports or social club, or volunteering. And remember, you’re developing a range of both academic and work-related skills through your course. The skills you have developed might include, for example team-working, communication, organising and planning skills. Gaining work-related experience and skills not only improves your employability but can also help you make more effective decisions about your career. The Careers Network can help you to articulate these skills and develop yourself further. More information can be found at www.careers.lboro.ac.uk
