Main Body
This report revolves around how the module and attending the university helped me in
achievement of employability and study skills. There are series of skills that I developed on the
basis of modules and university (Back et al 2019). I have always been an introvert and never
knew how to initiate a communication and carry it out effectively. I always liked reading and
wished I could write but whenever I tried I was not able to put the thoughts that I had in words
and therefore this course helped me a lot when it comes to development of communication skills
including both the aspects of communication i.e. written and verbal. Although I believe that it
was active participation and practice that helped me in development of this particular skills but
modules build the establishment of that growth, it development an understanding of how
important these skills are and it helped me in figuring out an action plan for achievement of the
same (Basso et al 2020). Attending university helped me in this as I had to communicate with a
lot of people and therefore my fears regarding initiating and carrying on a communication were
taken care of. My writing skills developed while taking part in group writing campaigns that the
university have. I am able to put my though in words and I am so grateful about it. Being able to
communicate is a must part in anyone's day to day life and it is a must have skill when it comes
to employability criteria of any organisation (Claro et al 2018). And therefore development of
this skill not only helped me in my day to day life it also helped me in getting prepared for future
employability structure. All these units accumulated together and I now feel confident regarding
my written and verbal communication skills.
