WHAT IS THE EXPERIENCE RECORD?
 
The Experience Record is an online portal that allows you to develop a comprehensive list of the opportunities that you have been involved with and the subsequent soft skills that have been gained by participating in those respective experiences. It will also house a list of Experiential Learning and Work Integrated Learning courses that you have completed. Together these will create a profile of experiences that will support your reflection and capacity to speak to your skill development.
 
It is the space where you can find opportunities for further skill development through activities, events, and employment opportunities.
 
WHY USE THE EXPERIENCE RECORD?
 
The goal of the Experience Record is to provide you with a one-spot stop to learn about the opportunities across the College to support your skill development which allows you to search by either skill desired to develop, or organization you would want to connect with. Finally, you'll be able to do a general search to find an opportunity to take your experiences and create accomplishment statements that will support the addition of the experiences and skills to your resume and aid in developing responses to interview questions.
 
Most important, as you start to populate your Experience Record you will be able to see which skills you have developed through your experiences and where you can find opportunity to develop further. From each experience you will have the opportunity to consider how you have gained skills and when the time comes to speak to your skills preparing for an interview, you can look back at your Experience Record and build confidence in knowing you have the skills to land that role.
