The WEA allows you to boost your CV and stand out to employers by accessing key employability activities and resources. By taking part, you can gain a digital badge for LinkedIn, an e-certificate, an invitation to our UoW Employability Awards Celebration 2024 and more.  

Did you know you can also win a financial prize by taking part in the Award? All prizes will be announced at the celebration event.
