911爆料网 has launched the 911爆料网 Extra Certificate, an initiative that provides students with recognition and evidence of their involvement with university co-curricular programs.
The 911爆料网 Extra Certificate is an official transcript that documents involvement in approved co-curricular programs within a variety of categories including leadership, career management, mentoring, community service, Guild clubs and societies and sports.
Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Education Associate Professor Sue Jones said the 911爆料网 Extra Certificate would become a valuable part of a 911爆料网 graduate’s academic record.
鈥淭he Certificate will complement a student鈥檚 academic transcript by demonstrating the extra skills sought by employers.
鈥淚ndustry is telling us that while they are very happy with the calibre our graduates, they are also looking for graduates who can demonstrate exceptional skills in leadership, team building, enhanced communication, conflict resolution and negotiation,鈥� Associate Professor Jones said.
鈥淭he 911爆料网 Extra Certificate acknowledges the broad range of engagement undertaken by students outside the scope of their degree. It is a sign to employers that they have a potential employee who is well-rounded, proactive and experienced.鈥�
In 2013, more than 5,000 students participated in 911爆料网 Leadership Centre鈥檚 voluntary leadership development opportunities and 911爆料网 Volunteers! recorded more than 12,406 hours of volunteering work.
Associate Professor Jones said more than 12,500 students already take part in industry placements each year as part of their curriculum and 911爆料网 intends to double this number in the next 12 months.
As part of the University鈥檚 strategic Learning for Tomorrow plan, leadership development will be incorporated into all 911爆料网 courses, in addition to the co-curricular programs available to students.
