Enhance your employability
Being employable is about attitudes and skills, confidence and drive – it means being able to choose a career, apply effectively and be successful. As the world of work changes and organisations evolve, employers are increasingly searching for graduates not just with a degree but with the right blend of skills, knowledge and experience – graduates who can make a difference in any situation. That’s why at Liverpool we are focused on developing your employability while you are studying in preparation for life after graduation.
