Your outline should be around 600 words long.  You should share this with two other students and feedback on the profiles of two other students.

How to Structure Your Outline

1. Introduction
2. Brief role outline
3. Skills you already have
4. Skills to be developed
5. Reference list

Things to Include:

• Definition of Transferable skills with reference to literature, including why transferable skills  are useful and how they can help in volunteering role or future employment
• Brief outline of your volunteering role to identify skills that are needed, what you can offer and what you can develop
• State that your existing skills were identified using the Skills Audit form 
• Make clear links between a transferable skill and evidence on how it was acquired or how it will be developed
• Use the literature to evidence specific transferable skills for a particular task
• Remember to include a full reference list 
• Write in the first person, but use a professional tone

Peer Assessment Criteria

You will be assessed (and should assess on) the following criteria: 

1. To demonstrate self-awareness of transferable skills you already possess
2. To identify transferable skills which will be developed during the project
3. The ability to use evidence (examples) and theory on how skills have been/will be developed

When feeding back, make sure that you write something on each of these points – and be constructive!  Think of the feedback you would find it useful to receive and let that guide you.
