Well, here is the first thing I forgot - evidenceNet! I am sharing it
to prevent you all reminding me :-)

Hi Ruth
It might also be worth including a link to the HEA's EvidenceNet
<http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/EvidenceNet/home> site which currently has
775 resources, events and networks tagged with "employability and
employer engagement" pedagogic theme:

Hope this helps?
All the best

Subject: Web sites and Journals for employability research
Hello everyone
I am compiling a list of 'starting' places to look re (graduate)
employability research
This is for a colleague thinking about doing a PhD in this - but it will
be useful for me too.
I would like to add any journals but can't think of any - am I going
mad? I know there have been some special editions of some journals but I
can't think of any dedicated to Employability and am thinking that if
there isn't one, should we start one?
Anyway, assuming I am simply having a menopausal moment and have
forgotten the obvious re web sites and journals I would appreciate you
checking out my list so far and adding your favourites
So far I have this:
The Higher Education Academy (HEA)
http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/ourwork/teachingandlearning/employability
The Centre for Recording Achievement is an associate of HEA and holds
lots of research relating to 'Personal Development Planning' (PDP) which
has strong connections to career and employability eg they have been
doing work relating to Graduate Attributes
http://www.recordingachievement.org/.
There were a number of Centres of Excellence in Teaching and Learning
(CETL's) who had employability remits:
UCLAN -
http://www.uclan.ac.uk/information/uclan/employability/index.php
Sheffield Hallam - http://employability.shu.ac.uk/
Uni of Bedfordshire - http://www.beds.ac.uk/bridgescetl
Uni of Reading - http://www.reading.ac.uk/ccms/
All suggestions welcome and I will compile and share them back with the
list
Best wishes all
