The 7 Steps to Success

This presentation gives an overview of the University of Portsmouth Students’ Union priority project to boost student engagement with careers and employability activities during their studies. The 7 Steps for Success is a series of learning opportunities where students evidence their understanding and activity to evidence their career, to inspire career thinking and to signpost to resource. The scheme will be run via bespoke created Moodle Pages for each participating School and conclude with a reflection document (checked by Careers and Employability Services), which will lead to a certification. Through participating in the 7S program, students will be able to gain the key skills needed to achieve their career goals, and receive an official University of Portsmouth & Students' Union joint award of recognition presented at the prestigious black-tie event that is the Union Awards. This will be an invaluable addition to students’ CVs, proving to employers that students made the most out of their time at university through graduating with both a degree, experience and the skills that are needed to stand out amongst the thousands of other graduates competing for the same opportunities in an increasingly competitive job market.
