Each skill listed in the ncl+ menu is part of the Newcastle Graduate Skills Framework (PDF: 274KB). The Framework was developed with employers to define a set of skills which, when added to your degree, will give you the skills you will need in your life beyond university.
ncl+ opportunities are not just about developing graduate skills; they're about being accountable, having fun, meeting new people, taking responsibility and growing in confidence.
Whatever you do after University – work, further study, travel, become self-employed - you'll be better prepared.
All the skills in this section can be developed through ncl+ opportunities.
Working Towards Your Future (PDF: 758 KB) produced by the National Union of Students and the CBI, explains how employability skills can be developed by participating in clubs and societies, volunteering in the community and gaining work experience.
