Information for students who started the Exeter Award in My Career Zone

We have transferred across progress information for all students who had registered for the Exeter Award in My Career Zone so you should be at the same point as you were.

In Handshake we are using the Career Journey function in the Career Centre to run the Exeter Award. We’re also adding labels to your Handshake profile to help identify key stages of progress.

The Exeter Award takes place over two Career Journeys:

  • Exeter Award Development Stage - this is activity up to the mock application form.
  • Exeter Award Mock Assessment Stage - this starts with the mock application form.

There are 3 labels that can be added to your profile:

  • exeter award-registered – indicates you have registered and can access the Development Stage Journey
  • exeter award-development stage completed – this indicates this Journey has completed and you can access the Mock Assessment Stage Journey
  • exeter award-completed – indicates you have completed the Exeter Award.

Please see below further information relating to the stage you had reached in My Career Zone
