Employability Strategy Sample Clauses

Employability Strategy. The University Employability Strategy was approved in October 2022 and will be implemented from 2022/23 onwards. The strategy sets out our priorities for ensuring that our graduates leave Edinburgh Xxxxxx fully equipped to build their careers and create opportunities. Our embedded approach to employability, a guiding principle, ensures that the student experience is enhanced by our curriculum, underpinned by professional practice and excellent research resulting in positive outcomes for graduates who will be confident and empowered to steer their own future. There are four strands to the strategy that cover enhancing the employability culture across academic and professional service areas; embedding employability into all programmes; increasing access to work-related learning within the curriculum and ensuring a lasting framework for graduates to stay connected with the University. Metrics of success include a University Key Performance Indicator target of achieving at least 80% of undergraduates in professional or managerial professions. We work closely to support employer and industry engagement in every programme- and both the University Strategy and Employability Strategy place a strong emphasis on ‘building networks’. An example of good practice is evident in the School of Applied Sciences. The School supported by the student futures team, has appointed employability leads for each of its subject areas, has subject and thus sector specific Industry Advisory Groups and has a ‘Skills Passport’ that supports individual student development. Our Student Futures team is a multidisciplinary service where the combination of integrated careers and skills development activity, student placements and employer engagement for graduate recruitment effectively combines to deliver employability enhancing activity for all students – at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Our connections with business sectors in the City of Edinburgh and Lothians as well as wider Scotland are particularly strong, and the growing number of our Industry Advisory Boards help ensure employer skills needs are met through curriculum development and/or student placement or other work-related learning opportunities. We are actively involved with external agencies such as Skills Development Scotland, the Confederation of Business and Industry and more locally the Xxxxxxxx of Commerce with senior staff holding committee appointments within these organisations. The University has successfully g...

  • 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.
