Lancaster University runs an award scheme that runs alongside, but separately from, the degree programmes. It is all about ensuring graduates have skills for the workplace and skills for finding work. According to the number of activities one does, one can apply for a Bronze, Silver or Gold award. I have submitted my application today, the day of the deadline.
This is the description of the Award for using on CVs and cover letters:
The Lancaster Award is a non-compulsory, assessed employability award that recognizes individual achievements and endorses the development of key employability skills developed through extracurricular activities. It is evidence of motivation and commitment to personal development.
The level of Lancaster Award granted goes on ones degree transcript. The idea is that it helps with employability.
I’m not sure why but this blog is loading incredibly slow for me. Perhaps it is because I am a total fuckwit.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
It’s OK, it’s because I am a spamming fuckwit.
