As well as offering specific support with job applications, we also offer a comprehensive range of skills training sessions on a wide variety of employability topics. Many sessions count towards The Exeter Award - an achievement award unique to the University of Exeter that gives you recognition for the activities that you take part in outside of your studies and helps to develop a range of skills to take forward into the world of work. All of our skills training sessions and employability events can be booked via Handshake.
