Preparing for CLiP

Developing with the College

The College will work with you and your universities in the first and second year of your degree to suggest ways in which you can best prepare for the CLiP experience. This will include suggestions for maximising the value of work experience you already have, gaining new experience and using the logbook in the CLiP Portal to record your professional development. 

We want you to feel confident and prepared for CLiP when the time comes to start work. Throughout your degree, the College will contact you to suggest that you take our Professional Pathway courses with tips and advice on how to make the most of your journey.

You’ll get ideas on how to:

  • make the most of any work experience you already have
  • find new opportunities to build your skills
  • use your CLiP Portal logbook to track your progress and professional growth
