The hours and skills you record will also go onto an automatically created and individualised Skills Transcript, alongside a record of any volunteer awards you have achieved. This personal record creates a log of all your volunteering experiences which you can help you reflect on everything you have achieved and learnt, can help you write your CV and help you to prepare for future job interviews. The Skills Transcript is also an essential tool in helping you complete your self-reflection assessment in any volunteer based modules you are completing on your course.
Your experiences will make you make you stand out from the crowd and increase your employability. To download your personalised Skills Transcript, please click on the tab below:
