Overview

We know that, regardless of discipline, developing graduates for successful trajectories beyond university is of critical importance. Enabling our graduates to have a positive impact, whether that be through creating value that is economic, social, cultural, or environmental – or indeed a mixture of each, is the embodiment of this success.

The event, by way of oral presentations, workshops and posters, will provide a space to discuss and share latest practices in embedding employability among a network of peers. The symposium will focus on employability initiatives that are inclusive and provide equitable opportunities and will address the following themes within higher education:  

• Enterprise Education
• Sustainability
• Authentic Assessment
• Work Integrated Learning
• The 3Es from a careers perspective
• Inter/Multi-disciplinary approaches
