Final year students, show off your skills, get a certificate and maybe win a €100 prize!


If you are about to graduate from DBS and would like an opportunity to get certification of the generic transferable skills developed during your course read on...

HETAC is inviting it's accredited institutions (including DBS) to participate in the Learning Outcomes Assessment.

This assessment will measure essential transferable skills gained during your time at DBS, for example;

  • critical and analytic reasoning
  • Problem solving
  • Written communication
Skills are measured using several simple computer based tests. Only generic skills are evaluated so there's no need for any advance preparation.

Volunteers are invited to participate in this assessment which will take place on

Thursday May 15th between 2-5 in SWS labs 1.1 & 1.2

Anyone who has just completed (or is about to complete) a HETAC (ie non LJMU) accredited DBS Business qualification is eligible.

Whats the incentive for participants?
All participants will receive an individual certificate of their generic skills, a valuable tool in evaluating your core skills and marketing them to employers. Appointments can be made with the careers advisor to discuss how your scores influence your employability and long term job prospects.

If that wasnt enough, the first 20 volunteers will be entered into a draw for €100! Not a bad way to finish off your time here at DBS


Anyone who's interested can show up on Thursday at the above time and place or if you have any queries contact DBS careers advisor carol.clifford@dbs.ie for more details.

If you're reading this and know of any fellow students who are eligible and would be interested in participating, please do pass on the details.

Good luck to all!
