| Résumé: | Students, employers and other stakeholders expect universities to help students maximise their potential to find suitable work, that is, to maximise their employability. The development of graduate employability within the student cohort is both complex and challenging for all stakeholders. In order to do this it is necessary to work in partnership with industry and professional bodies and to understand the changing market conditions for graduates across a range of disciplines. Students can best improve their generic skills when they and their teachers fully understand the employer and client (in the case of self-employment) needs and expectations. This booklet was produced as part of a project that focused on developing graduate employability through partnerships with industry and professional associations. It contains 16 short stories by leading teachers, careers staff and industry consultants about how they develop employability in students. Each story identifies why they were interested in developing a particular aspect of employability, what they and their students do, the resources involved and why they think it is effective. |
