The Job Readiness and Employability in Healthcare Settings module is designed to equip final-year nursing students with the professional, interpersonal, and practical skills necessary to transition smoothly from academic life into the healthcare workforce. As the healthcare sector evolves with increased demands for clinical competence, communication excellence, and professional accountability, it is vital that nursing graduates are fully prepared to meet employer expectations from day one.
This module focuses on developing job-seeking skills, understanding workplace culture, enhancing communication and teamwork abilities, refining personal presentation, and navigating ethical and professional responsibilities in real-world healthcare environments. The training includes mock interviews, resume-building workshops, simulations of professional scenarios, and exposure to the expectations of different care settings ranging from hospitals and clinics to home-based and community health services.
By the end of the module, students will demonstrate enhanced confidence, competence, and clarity about entering the workforce, ensuring they are employment-ready and capable of contributing meaningfully to patient care and healthcare teams.
