‘Graduates who are unable to<br />
demonstrate life skills in today’s<br />
workplace environment are at a<br />
distinct disadvantage securing the<br />
best jobs and even their chosen<br />
career. This is a fabulous scheme<br />
and one worthy of recognition<br />
equipping graduates with the<br />
ability to demonstrate a broader<br />
view of life and of the need for<br />
additional skills would make them<br />
not only more employable but also<br />
more rounded individuals.’<br />
