My Employability Profile is accessible through Unihub, bridging the gap between MyFuture and MySkills to help you develop skills that enhance your employability.
How to access My Employability Profile
My Employability Profile is available by going to Unihub, which is where you also access MyFuture and MySkills.
Who can use My Employability Profile
My Employability Profile is open to all current students at the university. It can - and should - be used by everyone. It doesn't matter what course you're on, what year of study you're in, or whether you're learning on campus or remotely. The tool is built to be relevant to, and usable by, everyone.
Whether you have a very clear idea about your career path, or you're still considering all of your options, My Employability Profile will help you build a portfolio of skills that employers value.
How My Employability Profile works
My Employability Profile is based on a Capabilities Framework. This is 13 capabilities that we know employers value in their graduates:
- Adaptability
- Collaboration
- Communication
- Creativity and innovation
- Critical thinking
- Data literacy
- Digital and AI literacy
- Drive and initiative
- Leadership
- Professionalism
- Resilience
- Social and cultural awareness
- Sustainability
Don't worry if you're not sure what all of these mean; to help you, we've added definitions and created short videos that explain what these capabilities are, and how to use them.
Within My Employability Profile, you can explore the capabilities to identify what to focus on and then choose the right activities for you to build your skills. You can then attend workshops, explore opportunities, access resources and reflect on your progress to boost your employability.
Every time you attend an event relating to one of the capabilities, you will progress from 'Getting started' to 'Intermediate' and then 'Expert'.
You can add all sorts of experiences to your profile. This might include online courses you've completed (such as LinkedIn Learning), work experience, volunteering, or work as a student leader or SU society member. Anything you've done whilst a student at Bath can be added here. All actions count towards your profile - you can log all of these as 'experiences' and move the dial on your profile.
How it links to the Bath Award
The Bath Award is another new employability initiative that launched in September 2025. Like My Employability Profile, the Bath Award uses the Capabilities Framework to help you develop key employability skills that we know employers value the most.
Some of the 'experiences' you complete through My Employability Profile will be Bath Award endorsed, and will count towards the professional development aspect of your Award. However, there is no requirement that you sign up for (or complete) the Bath Award to be able to use My Employability Profile; they are completely separate, and you can use My Employability Profile without engaging with the Bath Award.
Sharing your profile with employers
My Employability Profile is not a competition or an award. It's a tool for you to track your development and progress against the 13 capabilities we know employers value. You are able to view a Skills Summary, and download or print this to share with employers to support a job application. You own this summary and it will automatically update as you add new 'experiences' to your profile.
We're not able to quality assure or review your experiences; if you would like a certificate that endorses your skill development and learning, we recommend that you complete the Bath Award.
Information for staff
Understanding the capabilities
If you're a member of staff, we have published information that provides an outline of the 13 employability capabilities, how these are described to students, and how you can help students develop these capabilities over time.

Adding events to My Employability Profile
If you are running workshops or other activities for students, you can submit them to be added to My Employability Profile. This means that attendance at your event / activity will automatically update a student's employability profile as soon as you mark their attendance at the event. It also means students will see your event through My Employability Profile, as well as through your existing Unihub site (for example, MySkills or MyFuture).
There are no set criteria for events and activities to be eligible, but they must be clearly related to developing a student's employability (events and activities that are purely focused on academic success, or broad personal development topics, will not be added).
Only members of the Employability and Student Success team can add activities to My Employability Profile. To request that your activity is added to My Employability Profile, please complete this form.
