Getting Students Work-Ready
 

Focus on the right skills, build a CV, get the experience they need.

 

Developed using National Occupational Standards, the National Student Database allows students to record all their formal and informal learning which can then be collected as a CV.

Students can:

• Improve their employability by focusing on the skills and qualifications they actually need
• Map their qualifications and skills to suitable areas of employment using the career search function  
• Set a target job role and compare their current skills to identify any areas for development
• Take responsibility for their development with a personal plan
• Gain instant access to their records wherever internet is available
• Create an endorsed CV that potential employers can view through Job Shop, highlighting work-based training and qualifications achieved.

But the National Student Database also has a wide range of benefits for colleges and tutors.

Benefits for college:

• Enhance reporting capabilities for Ofsted and Framework for Excellence requirements, through the National Student Database report function.

• Help students prioritise their activity to gain the best opportunities on leaving college
