THE COURSES
What are the skills courses?
Pagoda Projects have developed a series of skills courses set to encourage the development of student and recent graduateā current skillset with the fundamental elements needed to improve their āwork readinessā for a post-pandemic business world.
The skills series includes courses focusing on Intercultural Fluency, Employability and Digital Competency. We believe this framework provides the learner with the agility needed for a global and ever-changing workplace, preparing them with the knowledge to communicate effectively within an international work-group or team, tackle the job market with awareness, preparation and confidence and have a strong understanding of the importance of ādigitalā once they enter the workplace.
As qualifications remain a vital measure of achievement, a certificate is provided following each completed course.
Why are they important?
Based on the Universities UK ā Higher Education in England: Provision, Skills and Graduates Survey, āfor both graduates of all levels and subject areas, skills and competencies came first (82.4% reported this to be a formal or important requirement), followed by relevant work experience (66.7%)ā when asked what mattered most when entering the labour market and attaining a job. Similarly, 87% of employers listed attitudes and aptitudes for work more important than relevant work experience, degree result and degree subject when hiring a graduate.
This coherence between student and employer views supports our framework in being able to provide learners with accessible skills courses that can be integrated into professional internships; this would allow them to achieve both the first and second most important values when attaining employment. For non-placement learners, these courses may be integrated into course projects or their own self-development actions, allowing the learner to practice their new skills in real-time.

THE COURSES
What are the skills courses?
Pagoda Projects have developed a series of skills courses set to encourage the development of student and recent graduateā current skillset with the fundamental elements needed to improve their āwork readinessā for a post-pandemic business world.
The skills series includes courses focusing on Intercultural Fluency, Employability and Digital Competency. We believe this framework provides the learner with the agility needed for a global and ever-changing workplace, preparing them with the knowledge to communicate effectively within an international work-group or team, tackle the job market with awareness, preparation and confidence and have a strong understanding of the importance of ādigitalā once they enter the workplace.
As qualifications remain a vital measure of achievement, a certificate is provided following each completed course.
Why are they important?
Based on the Universities UK ā Higher Education in England: Provision, Skills and Graduates Survey, āfor both graduates of all levels and subject areas, skills and competencies came first (82.4% reported this to be a formal or important requirement), followed by relevant work experience (66.7%)ā when asked what mattered most when entering the labour market and attaining a job. Similarly, 87% of employers listed attitudes and aptitudes for work more important than relevant work experience, degree result and degree subject when hiring a graduate.
This coherence between student and employer views supports our framework in being able to provide learners with accessible skills courses that can be integrated into professional internships; this would allow them to achieve both the first and second most important values when attaining employment. For non-placement learners, these courses may be integrated into course projects or their own self-development actions, allowing the learner to practice their new skills in real-time.
