Birmingham City University are proud to be hosting and co-facilitating an HEA Seminar Series Workshop ‘Pedagogy for Employability: Implications for Practice’ on June 12^th at our City North Campus

The workshop will give participants the opportunity to explore the major findings - and their implications - of the recent publication of ‘Pedagogy for Employability revised edition 2012’ http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/detail/employability/pedagogy_for_employability_update_2012

There will also be opportunities to discuss and reflect on how this and subsequent research affects our short and medium term practice and goals.

This workshop is aimed at those with practitioner responsibility for embedding employability within Higher Education; participants with interests in employability and curriculum development, careers services, institutional strategy and extra-curricular awards will benefit from the opportunity to explore the major findings, and potential implications, of this publication.

Aims

• To enable participants to explore and discuss the publication;
• to consider the implications of its findings for the participant’s professional employability practice or strategic approach within their school, department, institution or broader organisation;
• to facilitate development of an employability agenda for practice at a personal and/or organisational level as appropriate;
• to inform and identify sector-wide concerns, priorities and strategies for employability in Higher Education
