This short questionnaire allows you to self-assess your employability by rating your confidence in each section of the CCCU Future 360 Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CCCU Careers and Enterprise Online Award takes you one step further. Say for instance your Career Pulse report showed you had a low confidence score in the topic &#8220;Marketing and Promoting Yourself&#8221;. The award provides you with learning activities that help you boost your confidence in this and all related areas that make you more employable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you complete the award you receive an electronic certificate. This is a great way to demonstrate on your CV or LinkedIn profile your new-found confidence in your career skills and knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/506\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-30-at-12.21.15.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7538\" width=\"428\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/506\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-30-at-12.21.15.png 1005w, https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/506\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-30-at-12.21.15-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/506\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-30-at-12.21.15-768x538.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/506\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-30-at-12.21.15-680x476.png 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><figcaption>All who complete the Award get a certificate &#8211; great to show on your CV and on LinkedIn.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What have students said about the award?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the feedback from students who have already completed the award:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em><em>A great way to identify strengths and weaknesses and provides support and material to strengthen skills<\/em>.\u00a0<em>I found the course very useful, especially the pulse assessment as it highlights areas for improvement!<\/em><\/em><\/p><cite>Tayla-Mae &#8211; Third year LLB (Hons) Bachelor Of Law student<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em><em>The content is great and a lot of it is relevant even if you are not going into business, for example, body language and presentation skills, which I found to be very interesting and helpful as I\u2019m going into teaching, so these will really help me.<\/em>\u00a0<em>I thought it was well thought out and easy to pick up and put down.
