The Office of Student Life Leadership POD is a development programme for emerg-ing student leaders in Dublin City University. We recognise that the skills and com-petencies gained through involvement in club, societies, Student’s Union and volun-teering are an integral part of the student experience and can give you the essential skills to develop your club or society as well as the employability skills that employ-ers want! The Leadership POD aims to provide a framework where you can learn and develop as you volunteer and lead activities, through development days, training, workshops and resources. The programme is supported by the DCU Sports Develop-ment Service.

The Leadership POD is a key component of DCU’s Generation 21 initiative and Grad-uate Attributes. Generation 21 is a unique programme of initiatives whose purpose is to shape our graduates into well-rounded individuals ready to make an impact on society and on the workforce.

In collaboration with industry DCU has identified the following graduate attributes which we aspire to develop through a student’s time at DCU. Through involvement in class work and student activities students will be supported in becoming:

Creative and Enterprising | Solution-Oriented | Active LeadersEffective Communicators | Globally Engaged
