Addressing the needs of employers: writing development and other forms of engagement on undergraduate STEM programmes
Thursday 16 February 2012
Coach House Workshop, The American Museum, University of Bath
Increasing pressures are emerging from the findings and recommendations of surveys, such as the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) and National Student Survey (NSS), which point to enhancing employability support within undergraduate degree programmes.
The ‘More Maths Grads’ project, for example, has recommended that HEIs redress the balance between employability skills and academic content. How can developing both academic and broader employability skills be reconciled in practice?
REGISTRATION for this event is nowe closed however please conact Ruth Waring r.waring@bath.ac.uk for further details.
The purpose of this workshop is to examine approaches to mapping employability skills within undergraduate STEM programmes, and sharing good practice in meeting the demands of academic requirements and the needs of employers.
The event will offer considerable scope for group discussions and interactions between participants; the day will have a very practical focus and participants will be encouraged to consider how they might translate what they have learnt back into their own institutions. Participants are welcome to bring and share materials / literature that illustrate their own STEM activity models.
This event is inspired by the projects ‘Student-led Employability Audit Toolkit’ and ‘Developing Writing in STEM Disciplines’ supported by the National HE STEM Programme.
The workshop is FREE to attend and lunch and refreshments will be provided – please ensure you book early as places are limited!
