Employability in the Curriculum: Beyond the Bolt-on?

First Call for Papers - A ceth conference

Key Note Speakers so far include:
Professor Freda Tallantyre (HEA)
Professor Lee Harvey (Copenhagen Business School)
Professor Ronald Barnett (Institute of Education, University of London)

Ceth, UCLan’s Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning, invites you to explore the processes, value, and impact of different ways of delivering employability within subject curricula and asks whether we have moved beyond the bolt-on and to what effect?

You are invited to register, and to submit a paper (deadline for abstracts is 30th September).

The main themes we wish to explore include:

  • Embedding employability in non-vocational disciplines
  • Work-based learning
  • Learning spaces and real/realistic work environments
  • Employer, community and alumni engagement
  • Teaching, identifying and assessing employability skills
  • Evaluation and impact
  • The voice of the students

Further details can be seen at ; www.uclan.ac.uk/ceth along with registration forms and details for submitting a presentation, or call us on ext.2250.
