Dear David,
Thanks for the
email and your planned module sounds great, just the thing I
have introduced here at Leeds.
I attach the
two module outlines that are most relevant: a module that
allows 40 hr placements in local schools, and a module that
demands collaborative research and public facing outputs.
These don’t offer quite the 5-6 week placements you are
planning, but should be useful as you think about learning
outcomes, assessment types and describing the ways they
influence employability.
I also attach a
recent report completed on the ‘rhetoric’ of employability
and recommendations for making sense of it within the
curriculum, which may be of broader interest.
I’ve also got a
few podcasts on History and Employability that you might
have a scan of:
http://www.thehistoryfaculty.org/careers/item/169-history-and-employability-pt1
If you have a
bit of resource for this kind of module development to pay
for travel etc, I’d be happy to come down to Leicester to
present / talk about these kinds of initiatives in more
detail, and contribute to your module design ideas, if that
sounds useful.
All the best,
Rafe
Dear colleagues,
I’m working with an academic member of
staff within our History Department at De Montfort University,
on running an employability module for 2nd year
students.
Please see the request below from Dr David
Dee about recommended reading lists, reports etc for this
module. I’d be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks

DMU
– History in the Workplace
To all,
I am a History lecturer based at De
Montfort University in Leicester and I am currently working to
create a second year module entitled ‘History in the
Workplace’.
The module is borne out of our Department’s
desire to try and improve graduate employability rates. It is
mainly based around a 6 week work placement (with associated
assessed reflective exercises), yet I am also keen to hold
contextual and practical sessions based on History and
employability earlier on in the course.
I am writing to see whether you can
recommend any useful books, journal articles, reports or
websites that deal with the theme of History (or indeed
Humanities) students and employability? I am currently
putting a list of reading materials together, so any
suggestions you may have will be most welcomed.
I have gathered some materials already, but
am keen to offer our students a selection of reading around
this area.
All the best,
Dr David Dee
