Employability across disciplines: A roadmap for staff Anna Rolinska, dr Heather Cleland-Woods, dr Matthew Barr Project Leader: dr Maxine Swingler

Graduate Attributes & Employability Skills a set of skills, understandings and attributes that are achieved over the course of a degree; being prepared to engage in an ongoing process of professional and personal career development; developing the ability to bring critical reasoning to bear, and applying these skills throughout and across the lifespan, not just within employment.

Related problems and challenges Students’ lack of self-awareness Varying levels of engagement within the student body Recording and measuring Transferring across domains How GAs are articulated > university ‘speak’, up-to- date and still relevant?

Where am I now and where do I want to be? 2-year LTDF project GAs as a narrative of the student experience in pre- honours classes Focus on reflection and self-assessment Interdisciplinary Design/implementation/evaluation cycle

Reflective exercises - Arts

Practice/evidence-based Accessible, searchable, flexible A Roadmap for Staff 2cd year of the Project Interdisciplinary Practice/evidence-based Accessible, searchable, flexible Internal/external resources To support and inspire staff Integrated into UoG webpages (LEADS) Context and practicalities Teaching intervention itself Supporting documents

Context and practicalities Teaching intervention itself Case Study approach To get under the skin To find out what really happens […] from the perspective of those involved Context and practicalities Teaching intervention itself What? So what? Now what? What next? Supporting documents

Case Studies Reflection on GAs and goals ahead for Y2 students in Sciences Reflection on GAs and goals ahead for Y2 students in Arts Reflection on GAs through a PDP framework Student Peer Mock Interviewing Employability Accelerator Alumni and student speed networking event Bespoke ‘Planning for the Profession’ programme Embedding graduate attributes within placement Co-assessment of oral presentations

Case Studies at a glance Disciplinary contexts: Science and Engineering, Arts, Veterinary Biosciences, Psychology, Earth Science, Accounting and Finance, Social Sciences, Environmental Science and Sustainability Class size: Small and Medium Purpose: Raising general awareness (1-8) Pedagogical set up: standalone lectures/seminars (45-90 min), seminar sequences, wholly in class/mix (blended) Little/some impact on curriculum redesign/staff workload Collaborative/organised in conjunction with other agents

Case Studies – a variety of approaches general awareness-raising initiatives focusing on reflection on GAs (1-3) careers-led initiatives targeting the development of employability skills (4-7) curricular initiatives related to work-based learning and placement (8-9)

Stakeholders’ reaction ‘I found the session quite helpful. I did already know most of it, to be honest, but it was good to refresh some things and to think about how to overcome weaknesses.’ [Student] I have improved my confidence, self-esteem and feel more able to advance further. Learnt that theory and reality don’t always coincide … I learnt that flexibility is essential. [Student] ‘students are universally positive about what they have learnt and mention the confidence they have gained from the experience’ [Staff]

Challenges and lessons learnt Students’ perceptions of GAs: scepticism/complacency, variation within the student body dependent on demographics Task design: engagement factor, real-life applicability, authentic tools, class interaction patterns (peer learning) Organisation/logistics/timetabling/external stakeholders’ involvement

Conclusion Confidence booster – pre- and post-activity comparative analysis Increased accessibility and inclusivity Collaborative approach Questions: engagement and retention strategies, evaluation of impact on knowledge and skills acquisition and development, scaling up

Food for thought How are you and your colleagues engaging your students with graduate attributes? What language and terminology are useful in articulating the importance of GAs to students at the different stages of the study cycle? Which time and contexts seem the most appropriate for the students to start engaging with GAs?
