A Developed Workforce. Graduate Attributes The University has progressed towards effectively embedding Graduate Attributes within our general curricula reflecting skills development and employability. We have made progress in:  Raising awareness in the student body of the importance of skills development and reflection.  Carefully designing learning experience and assessment structures reflecting Graduate Attributes at the same time as ensuring we retain the integrity of our academic courses All colleges have a Graduate Attributes Champion who is an academic member of staff. They enable courses to map and embed Graduate Attributes. They also proselytise Graduate Attributes more generally ensuring understanding of the ‘employability’ relevance of the academic curriculum to all university stakeholders.

A Developed Workforce learners who have the skills, knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit to get a job and progress their career; and institutions that respond to the skills needs of the economy locally and nationally – (SFC Aim 4) A unique quality on offer to students is the cosmopolitan nature of a St Xxxxxxx education, with staff and students from more than 120 nations and research/teaching collaborations all over the world. We believe firmly in the benefits of an international perspective for broadening students' horizons and encouraging them towards outward-looking enterprise and ambition. We recognise the importance of foreign language learning in order to develop an awareness of other cultures, and the acquisition of appropriate skills to support industry and enterprise activities. We would be keen to see investigation of ways to advance the profile and efficacy of pre-University language learning at a national level in order to meet current and future challenges to society and business. In addition, we take Study Abroad very seriously. In contrast to many other institutions, our Study Abroad arrangements insist on at least one semester of residence abroad, with a standard credit load, completion of all local assessments and examinations, and grades counting fully towards the student's Degree result. On top of these formal arrangements, many of our students find international internships during vacations, supported by the Careers Centre. Government funding awarded through the Saltire Outward Mobility fund has helped the University to enhance the links between Widening Participation activities and Study Abroad, two key areas of strategic focus. In addition we have developed a 'First Abroad' scheme which, in the context of support for all students, will put particular incentives/impetus into supporting students to study abroad who are from non-traditional backgrounds. The initiative seeks to build on the successful partnership between the University of St Xxxxxxx and the College of Xxxxxxx & Xxxx in Virginia, USA, by providing a first year undergraduate student and an offer holder from an access background the opportunity to experience a few days of academic and co-curricular activities at Xxxxxxx & Xxxx. The two Saltire Scholars will be able to experience the benefits of Study Abroad first hand and then to share these experiences with other students from non-traditional backgrounds. On return, the undergraduate Saltire Scholar will undertake a Study Abroad Internship speci...

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
