The Portsmouth Award

Enrolment for The Portsmouth Award will open in October 2023.

The Portsmouth Award is completed online through Moodle. You can work through the programme at your own pace and seek further support from the Careers and Employability service at any point.

You can sign up the Portsmouth Award here.

Once you have completed The Portsmouth Award, you will have:

• More confidence in presenting your value to employers. This will include increased clarity on the skills, strengths and values you can offer, and the relevance of your work experience
• More confidence in how to research different sectors, employers and opportunities to consider the best fit for you
• A greater understanding of what graduate employers are looking for through their recruitment processes and more confidence in your ability to navigate those processes.

Support throughout The Portsmouth Award

Although The Portsmouth Award is a self-directed programme through Moodle, we offer continued support through: 

• 1-1 appointments with a Careers and Employability adviser to review draft submissions
• Workshops and events through Careers and Employability Service and the Students’ Union
• MyCareer account advertising volunteering opportunities and part-time work
• Faculty placement teams in sourcing placement opportunities.
