Gavin is the Careers and Employability Manager from the Careers Service and this post forms part of the 20 Years of Enhancement theme. This aligned with our work harnessing co- and extra-curricular learning to support students’ development and impact.
In the Business School, we recognised that we weren’t always making it easy for students to decipher where and how they were developing these skills, both in and beyond their taught curricula. Rosalyn Claase Ros is Head of Student Experience, having joined the Business School in November 2011 as the Careers Manager.
The focus for January is employability, introduced by the Director of the University’s Careers Service, Shelagh Green. While I wouldn’t argue for employment outcomes as a simple proxy for teaching quality, I would argue that the learning and teaching experience of our students has the capacity to open up a world of career opportunities.
Build a network Mostly relevant for those charged with organising multiple placements it is crucial to build up a network of contacts in the relevant ‘world’ in to which you are seeking to place students.

For this particular group, it became clear that developing intended attributes was linked to, but also sometimes hampered by, their membership of multiple communities here and at home.
ACJ demonstrates much greater reliability in large-volume assessment when using a distributed team of assessors and also enables high numbers of students to efficiently receive valuable feedback from several assessors, whether used for staff assessing students or student peer assessment.
It is not that I lack the opportunity; over the past few years, I have taught “Discovery of Space” as part of an undergraduate History of Science course, looking particularly at the societal issues in the development of science and technology and the role they play in our every-day lives. But fears can be overcome.

I believe that there is a strong overlap between what we often call an “employability mindset” and something we refer to as an “entrepreneurial mindset”. Helping studentsdevelop these capacities and skills whilst at university will certainly give them a head start in their career.
Two of our AFHEA students from the 2018 cohort presented on their own approaches to teaching at the vet school’s Celebrating Teaching event (see picture below). Seeing the studentsdevelop in their understanding and experience in teaching over time has been both exciting and humbling.
