We need to improve the ability of students to recognise, articulate and (in some cases) ‘sell’ their achievements when they move on from studying at MMU.
These pages outline ways in which MMU has developed processes, projects, and resources to aid staff in finding ways to achieve improved employability for MMU students.
A bit of background ...
In 2007 the Embedding Employability project, led by Penny Renwick, provided impetus for a number of initiatives.
One major outcome from this project is the piloting and forthcoming integration of the Employability Curriculum Framework (ECF) into programmes. The framework was found to provide a useful way to both take stock of, and to develop, employability within programmes.The recent reorganisation in Careers and Employability has resulted in Faculty Link Careers and Employability Advisers whose role is to support faculty academic staff in developing their students' employability.
Another significant achievement of the Embedding Employability project is the introduction of the MMU Professional Passport.
Other resources available for direct use by students, include of course, the MMU Careers and Employability website and a new resource, now in development, called Employability Skills Online which will provide students with resources to use independently to help them develop employability skills. This resource will also have materials packaged for staff to use within programmes.
