This module provides you with key employability skills that will prepare you to apply and secure a placement or internship. You will be shown the skills required to get through the application process, as well as those soft and business skills employers will be expecting. The onus is on you to secure a placement or internship, but there is plenty of support from the Student Experience and Employability Team and Career Zone to assist you.

This module is a pre-requisite for those students looking to secure a placement on the BSc Mathematics with a Year in Industry and related programmes (who take the MTH3100 Industrial Experience module in year 3), and is highly recommended for those taking EMP3001 Commercial and Industrial Experience. Please note that, for all students taking these modules, all paperwork to obtain approval for the placement/internship must be submitted and approved by the module leader in advance of the placement start date, according to deadlines specified on appropriate ELE pages.

Students on the with a Year in Industry programmes will have to demonstrate engagement with this module.

Students will need to have:

* attended at least 4 CareerZone workshops in semesters 1 and 2 of year 1, to include:

- CV and job application skills;

- Searching for internships;

* attend the specific sessions scheduled for this module;

* attend 2 or more extra-curricular EMPS-specific employability or alumni events;

* attend a 1-1 meeting with a Careers Consultant to discuss their CV;

* work through the online ELE resources for the module, including all quizzes.

Students will typically attend CareerZone workshops during academic year 1 and work through the online resources during the year up to, and into, the following summer vacation.

Students on the with a Year in Industry programmes will be assessed on their engagement with the module, via:

(1) attending a 30-minute interview with the MTH3100 Industrial Experience module leader, scheduled late in year 1 (term 2 or 3);

(2) checking that they have completed online assessments/quizzes, by the end of August in year 1.

Insufficient engagement will result in transfer to the appropriate BSc Mathematics or Mathematics with... programme, as determined at the September (Ref/Def) Assessment, Progression and Award Committee meeting.
