This year there are some changes to the Employability Points (EP) Scheme.
First off, the reward structure will be different. There will be three periods where you will be able to apply for rewards rather than just the one deadline in March. The first period will be in November 2025, the second period will be in February 2026 and the third and final period will be April 2026. This means you can cash your points in more frequently throughout the year.
Secondly, there will be only two types of rewards you can apply for; a two week Insight Programme (formerly work experience) and paid internship roles. You will only need 200 points to apply for these rewards and we will be sending out the opportunities via email and uploading them to Careers Hub in the weeks before you can apply.
You will apply through Careers Hub and if shortlisted there will be preplanned interview dates with the employer or EP interviewer. Don’t worry though, the reward types no longer included, such as company experiences and skills development sessions, will now be featured within the general Careers events programme
The way you log your points will remain the same and what you get points for will remain the same, but allows for you to apply for rewards and work with our sponsors throughout the year and work on getting experience in relevant fields before the end of the year.
We look forward to seeing what this year has in store for you!
Get Involved. Get Rewarded.
