About the award:

This award was the first Higher Award designed by UCC Works to recognise students who stand out in their employability skills development. These skills are the core of what hiring managers wish to see exemplified in new employees. They are transferable skills including, but not limited to: communication, teamwork, critical thinking and problem solving, self-management, organisation, and, in today's world, technological awareness. The student who qualifies for a UCC Works Higher Award and exemplifies growth in employability skills will be awarded the Employability Star Award.
