How the Workshop will contribute to Learning Practice

Through this workshop you will:

explore what can be done about graduate employability nationally, locally and in-course, what are the barriers and how to overcome them and hear about what other courses do to come up with solutions to some of the issues. You will share good practice with colleagues, working together towards improving graduate employability. You will leave the session with a plan of action achievable in academic year and an awareness of the support that is available to you to help with your plans.
