Staff & Providers: Activity Approval Process

ARE YOU A MEMBER OF STAFF, EMPLOYER OR OTHER ORGANISATION SEEKING DEGREEPLUS/FUTURE READY AWARD ACCREDITATION FOR AN ACTIVITY?

  • Only Employers; Community & Voluntary groups; Queen's staff and Students' Union; Professional Bodies and other organisations can apply for DegreePlus/Future Ready Award Accreditation of extracurricular, work-related learning experiential activities (i.e. current students cannot act as a provider and sign off on a DegreePlus/Future Ready Award for their peers).  Those who are interested, may find it helpful to contact us in this first instance and to discuss the approval process and potential activity with the DegreePlus/Future Ready Award Manager.
  • To apply, complete the "ACTIVITY APPROVAL APPLICATON FORM" and submit to us at degreeplus@qub.ac.uk.  It will then be considered against relevant activity criteria by a DegreePlus/Future Ready Award Activity Review Panel (Criteria associated with Provider Verified and Combined Experience criteria are shown in the guidance at the end of the Activity Approval Application Form). If deemed suitable by the Panel, the approval will be confirmed to you via email. 
  • Once an activity is approved by the panel, the information plus any relevant associate image that has been provided will be published on the Activity List within this website (please note that providers are responsible for securing relevant permissions for publication of any associated images that they provide as well as for the accuracy of information provided. In the event of any change to contact, content or other changes to your activity, please contact The DegreePlus/Future Ready Award Team as they occur so that we can confirm continuation of approval and ensure accuracy of information published to students).

FURTHER INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYERS 

  • Students who undertake The DegreePlus/Future Ready Award will be utilising and developing some or all of the Future-Ready Skills.  These skills have been identified through consultations with employers by both Queen's Careers, Employability & Skills unit and wider national  surveys of employers (E.g. Association of Graduate Recruiters). 
  • In addition to being able to gain Future-Ready Award, (DegreePlus) accreditation for, e.g. extracurricular student Internships or career/professional development programmes, some employers also have agreed formal corporate partnerships/sponsorships with The DegreePlus/Future Ready Award.  For further information or other enquiries about this, please contact recruit@qub.ac.uk.
