Information for Staff
What is the USP - University Skills Passport?
The USP - University Skills Passport offers a comprehensive and formal recognition of students' skill development, encompassing both curricular and co-curricular achievements. All verified accomplishments will be systematically acknowledged as they happen using digital badges. These achievements will be centrally recorded on our USP platform, culminating in a personalised USP document for each student. This document will provide a complete overview of their activities and skill development, reflecting their growth both inside and outside the classroom.
Why Participate as an Activity Owner:
Boost Your Activity's Visibility: By joining this platform, your co/extracurricular activity will be centrally published alongside others, making it easier for students to discover and engage with it. This centralisation helps students fully immerse themselves in university life, pursue their passions, and grow as individuals.
Showcase and Track Student Development: The University Skills Passport allows students to document the full range of activities they participate in and the skills they develop throughout their university journey, both inside and outside the classroom. Your activity becomes an integral part of their overall growth and achievement.
Meet Employer Demands: Employers are increasingly looking for more than just academic success, they want evidence of skills and well-rounded development. By participating in this platform, you are not only enhancing the student experience but also helping them stand out in a competitive job market. This technology supports your efforts to contribute to the personal and professional growth of students, positioning them for success.
