A group of colleagues at Warwick, Birmingham, Newman and HECSU is currently working on validating a 'career adaptability scale' which might go somewhere in the direction I think you seek. The scale has been validated for use in several other countries but not so far in the UK - if you would like more information please contact one of us directly (I think my colleague Gill Frigerio at Warwick is also in this distribution list. Others in the project include, Jenny Bimrose and Anne Wilson also at Warwick, Eluned Jones, at Birmingham and Toni Wright at Newman).

Best wishes, Jane

Subject: Development of Student Survey - Employability

Dear Colleagues,

We are currently looking at developing a student survey relating to confidence in their own 'employability'. I am well aware of the minefield surrounding this issue but we do however feel that a stable survey measure may shed some light on the student 'employablility' jigsaw. We would look to run such a survey over successive years in order to get a longtitudinal view. I had some interesting information from UCLan at the Pedagogy for Employablity one day worskhop run by Ruth last Summer. Is there anyone else devloping such a measure - or have any thoughts? We are quite happy to share are developments.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards
