You simply need to attend five (5) different events or activities that are included in the Warwick Award careers package - details of which are below - and then complete a reflection on what skills you've learnt on the Award platform.

You can earn a maximum of 1 Core Skills Point per academic year from careers activities.

We've split the different activities that count towards this package into four activity types: online activities, offline activities, employer events, and 1:1 activities. These types can then be further broken down into individual activities.

• Online activities: self-awareness Moodle course, ECareersGrad tool, Graduates First tool, cover letter and CV resources.
• Offline activities: overview workshops, practice workshops, assessment centre practice groups.
• Employer events: careers fairs, meeting with employers, networking events, meeting alumni.
• 1:1 activities: Cappfinity strengths, interview practice, discussing recorded interview or application tests.

Job search and initial careers support such as CV and cover letter checks, or help searching for work experience do not count because the appointments are too short and, on their own, their don't include enough skills development for the Warwick Award.

Some students are more deeply involved with out careers service - for example, writing blogs, creating vlogs, being part of an advisory group, offering mentoring, or various other careers advocacy or championing positions. These roles are likely to be considered as individual activities recognised by the Warwick Award - rather than as part of this package - and so will have their Core Skills Points value. Once these activities have been assessed and recognised on the Award, we will communicate directly to those students involved.

Finally, we've not included departmental events such as presentations, workshops, or in-module sessions as they are too varied from each other to be able to apply equally across all departments. Also, in the case of in-module sessions, they will also be recognised in the academic module part of the Award.

Please note, although also booked through myAdvantage, visa and immigration advice appointments are not part of the Warwick Award careers package.

We will work closely with the careers team to track attendance at events over the course of the year. Once you've attended the required number for this package, we will add it to your Warwick Award profile and you'll be prompted to complete a skills reflection to claim your Core Skills Point.
