Friday 7 July 2006 What students have said about Student Link: “…a good all round experience. A great way to combine academic interest with a real-life situation” “I have made good connections with people in a variety of fields I may not have met if I hadn’t chosen to do a Student Link”

Friday 7 July 2006 What students have said about Student Link: “…the organisation was so impressed, they have given me a full time contract!” “It was the most important thing I did at University”

Friday 7 July 2006 Development during 1990s: Volunteering modules within the Social Sciences – Level 1 ‘Volunteering in the Community’ Level 2 ‘Volunteering in Action’

Friday 7 July 2006 CELT funded research: Should be credit bearing and embedded in the curriculum Students take more seriously that which is assessed Accreditation enables evidencing of competence to employers Difficulties of undertaking extra- curricular activities

Friday 7 July 2006 Students reported: Preference for subject specific knowledge acquisition alongside practical skills development Preference for multiple opportunities at different levels of study Keating, Green et al, 2003

Friday 7 July 2006 HE not just for employment, but… Post-92 Universities have a responsibility to help students through to employment Especially because our diverse graduates face inequalities Graduate employment affected by status of HEI

Friday 7 July 2006 WRL and CBL experience Enhances student employability (Elias & Purcell, 2005; Harvey, 2006; Anderson & Green, 2006) Establishes networks & connections with organisations and employers Enhances subject knowledge, professional, technical skills and personal qualities

Friday 7 July 2006 WRL and CBL experience Develops wider understandings of employability “ Volunteering gave me the opportunity to further my basic skills of planning, organising, motivating others, team work and communication” “University can be quite insular…but by being out in the community…you come to the end of your course with a greater sense of the community that surrounds you, and have a moral kind of culture to carry on whatever career you may have”

Friday 7 July 2006 An Holistic Approach HLSS – diversity of largely non- vocational provision Employability approach conceived of as ‘holistic’ (Harvey et al, 2002) Employability more than just getting a job
