Their National Awards are an opportunity for student societies to showcase their numerous achievements from the previous year. This year 345 students competed in the awards across 18 higher level institutions.

The UCC EmployAgility Awards programme is a key transition out initiative coordinated through a partnership with the UCC Graduate Attributes Programme and UCC Career Services.
