Simon Johnson from Hallmark Cards endorses the Lancaster Award:
"I recently interviewed a Lancaster undergraduate who explained that she was undertaking the Lancaster Award to increase her 'employability'. That undergraduates from Lancaster take part in a proactive scheme to gain new life experiences, to improve job-seeking skills and to make themselves more attractive to employers can only be positive. Whilst quality of the person, not the Award itself, is what counts most, it reinforces my view as an employer that Lancaster students take their future working lives, not just their education, seriously. Keep it up!!" |
