Details

We know that, regardless of discipline, developing graduates for successful trajectories beyond university is of critical importance. Enabling our graduates to have a positive impact, whether that be through creating value that is economic, social, cultural, or environmental – or indeed a mixture of each, is the embodiment of this success.

The event, by way of oral presentations and workshops, will provide a space to discuss and share latest practices in embedding employability among a network of peers. The symposium will focus on employability initiatives that address the following themes:

Sustainable development;
Inclusivity and equitable opportunities;
Interdisciplinary approaches;
Global Citizenship;
Co-design and partnership with students.

Symposium aims

To provide an open and supportive environment within which to share and discuss contemporary practice and initiatives in employability;
To identify challenges, propose solutions and create a safe space to think forward;
To develop a principled, and evidence-informed, approach to devising subsequent support and guidance for change(s) with regards to enhancing employability;
To develop a compendium of case studies that will help shape and inform the sector.

Who should attend?

Teaching practitioners including: heads of departments, academic programme leaders and developers, all lecturing staff, learning technologists and staff focused on employability including those in careers departments and with employer liaison roles.
