How can you prepare for the world of work?

What are the key skills you’ll need to succeed?

How can your DofE experience help?

Youth Without Limits LIVE: Beyond the CV are exciting and unique events designed to support young people, like you, to explore and develop the skills needed as you transition into employment.

By doing your DofE, you have already developed transferable skills that will support you in your future development; now find out how you can communicate the strengths you developed through your DofE to put yourself ahead when applying for work. Beyond the CV events will support you to see how your DofE experiences will continue to help you in the workplace far beyond your application and interview.

They include:

  • Interactive workshops on routes to employment, applying for jobs, personal storytelling and skills for the workplace
  • Engaging panel discussions with employers and business leaders
  • Employer engagement opportunities

Beyond the CV events are open to current DofE participants and recent Award holders, are fully accessible and free of charge to attend. We’ll provide lunch and refreshments throughout as well as everything that’s needed for full participation in the event and all activities.
