The GCU Employability Award run by the Careers Service, aims to encourage, support and reward students engaged in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

Completing this award helps you develop key employability skills that employers now increasingly expect in addition to a university degree. You can also use this award to demonstrate to employers key examples of where they have put skills into action, which will be crucial for future job applications.

Congratulations to Adeoluwa Adeosun, MSc Risk Management student, on completing the GCU Employability Award! 🏅

In completing the award, Adeoluwa, served as President of the GCU Nigerian Student Society (NSS), was Team Director for the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) Glasgow Chapter at the Refugee World Cup Scotland 2026 and participated in the GCU Future Leader Experience delivered by Common Purpose.

Reflecting on his experience, Adeoluwa shared:

“Completing the GCU Employability Award was a rewarding experience that helped me connect my roles across student leadership and community initiatives into a clear narrative of personal growth. The reflective process challenged me to evaluate not just what I achieved, but how I developed as a leader who builds trust, delegates effectively, and creates lasting structures for others.”
