Employability

Multiple factors converge to allow for high efficiency in addressing employability issues in the course curriculum and every effort has been made to embed and emphasise skills, knowledge and confidence that will maximise graduate employment opportunities.

This approach will be further reinforced by an opportunity to spend a period of time in all years within an industrial placement, thus developing industrial expertise and improving future job prospects to an even greater extent without detriment to individual study. The value of work ethic will also be explored within the programme to ensure that students participate within ‘in house’ work experience which will comprise the operation and running of the NBS Bake Shop.

Every effort has been made to embed and emphasise skills, knowledge and confidence that will maximise graduate employment opportunities and equip them with transferable skills and an understanding of professional practice in their chosen fields.
