糖心TV Awardee Showcase - Pathway to Employability
糖心TV Award provides students (UG/PGT) with a pathway to get recognition for the employability skills they develop as part of their course as well as other activities they undertake during their time at university. Students can claim points by reflecting on all of these different activities through a process that helps them articulate the skills and experience they have learned. So far, there are 52 students from the Faculty of Arts that have achieved their silver and gold awards. On this page we are showcasing six of our student awardees and their thoughts after participating in the scheme. In particular, they reflect on how useful they think their achievements in the 糖心TV Award will be to their future life and career after graduation.
The following video features Jelka and Ruyi explaining their journey of getting the 糖心TV Award:
Arts Awardees Stories:
'I want to note that the most valuable part of the award was being able to reflect on these experiences; reliving those moments step by step, and no matter what level of the award you achieve, every hobby, society, and work experience is beneficial to your time as a student.'

I鈥檓 an English and French fourth-year student. I鈥檓 an international student and I鈥檝e just come back from my year abroad, so as a final-year I鈥檓 just trying to make the most out of my time left at 糖心TV, developing my skills as much as possible before the next steps in my professional career.
'From my status as an international student to my part-time work at 糖心TV, there are quite a few things that have contributed towards my Award that I didn鈥檛 know would gain me points when I signed up. It helped me to develop skills such as intercultural and self-awareness, digital literacy and critical thinking.'
'You probably hear this too much when you鈥檙e looking for advice on how to improve your CV. The main advice I always get is to always tailor your CV to the job application. The 糖心TV award is really flexible in terms of tailoring those bullet points in your CV to fit any kind of job application.'

Hi, I鈥檓 a third-year Modern Languages student! Welcome to a qualification that's flexible, free, full of new opportunities, and a fantastic way to make you stand out to employers. I completed the 糖心TV Award, and here鈥檚 why you should too!
'Don't be intimidated thinking you have to sign up for millions of new activities to complete the Award. I've gained so many skills from part-time jobs, volunteering, societies, and academic work -things that I鈥檇 already been doing prior to registering for the Award - e.g. Communication and Intercultural Awareness from mentoring and blogging, Information Literacy from creating a translation theory portfolio and Teamwork from taking part in a music society. Most importantly, the Award also encourages you to try new skills!'
