Target Audience: Those involved in designing & delivering undergraduate teaching

The workshop will be a guide to embedding "employability" in the curriculum based on research commissioned by HEA and the hands-on experience of the Natural Sciences CATE team at Leicester.

The workshop is designed to support those involved in designing and delivering undergraduate teaching: module convenors, programme directors, educational developers and those working career support. Participants will learn about the different ways of embedding life skills in the formal and informal curriculum with illustrative examples and with a focus on authentic assessment.

In the workshop, you will act as consultants to a fictitious Department attempting to enhance its graduate employability.  You will be addressing issues around planning and integrated curriculum and assessment strategies and the process of change management.  To guide you, you will be introduced to a framework for embedding employability based on an HEA commissioned surver of the literature.

This will illustrate the many different scales and types of intervention that support the embedding of graduate employability, together with various examples from our own experience.  We will encourage you to reflect on and discuss how you might apply some of these ideas in your own context.

This workshop is being brought jointly by the STEP Team and Careers Service.

It is free to attend but places are limited and must be booked in advance.
