Complete your mySkills audit

Throughout GEC you will be building and developing many skills: in teamwork, in communication, in remote collaboration, in time management.

As you progress through GEC, use this skills audit to keep a note of these skills and collect examples where you have had to use them.

By doing this you are building a valuable resource for future placement, YII and job applications

If you have already done this audit as part of your programme, complete this again as you will have learnt lots since the last time you audited!
