The Worcester Award

The Worcester Award will help you to stand out from the crowd. It recognises the activities and experiences which can contribute towards your future employability, such as work experience, personal and skills development, contribution to society and promoting yourself to employers.  Although it is not part of your formal qualification, the Worcester Award will be recognised in your degree.  To achieve the award, you need to take part in a range of activities which could include those listed above, along with work experience and participation in career and employability workshops. Assessment will be via written application and interview with local employers.

This is what one employer has said about the award:

"Worcester Award winners are able to show what they have already achieved through  past experiences which gives more confidence to future employers.  I don’t know of many companies who would rather have someone with the potential to do great things over Worcester Award winners who have ALREADY achieved terrific results," Tripp Martin, Enterprise Rent-a-car.
