Hi everyone
It’s almost sunny in Birmingham!!
Doug Cole sent me info on this new institute
http://www.iemployability.org/.
It is interesting that the language is immediately familiar - ‘employability’ - but their remit is narrowly on ‘unemployed
people’ and ours is equally narrow - more curriculum delivery and development in HE. However our paths and work may cross as some of us might also have remits relating to unemployed graduates or may know other people in this field who might be interested.
Please share:-)
The ‘Pedagogy for
Employability: Implications for Practice’ day here yesterday has resulted in lots of things to write up which will be shared with you all in the next few weeks!
Best wishes all
Ruth

Hi Ruth
Yes was interesting and specifically how it was with such a narrow remit, if I could have used Twitter properly I was going to Tweet but am still
working out how to do it. I wasn’t thinking of joining but just thought they had got a head start on the name if it was something that was ever going to come about in our world! Feel free to share with the list if you like and I can do some more digging in
the meantime if that works ?
Was great to see you too and really appreciated the advice! Will come back to you on that soon
Best Regards

Hello
Interesting – interesting that the language is immediately similar ‘employability’ but their remit is narrowly on ‘unemployed people’ – are you
thinking of joining? Also I think it is worth sharing with the list in case anyone is also in that field more than curriculum development in HE
