These activities included enhancing entrepreneurial education, student and staff mobility, deeper engagement in shared entrepreneurial programmes such as the Converge Challenge, enhancement of our Employer Mentoring Programme and wider business engagement using initiatives such as Interface.

This move has contributed to a marked improvement in our DLHE score and a range of new initiatives to enhance graduate employability at UWS including the development of entrepreneurial pathways to work.  Targets: Grow by 10% per annum entrepreneurial skills in our students and staff as measured by participation in entrepreneurial learning events, mentoring programmes, credit bearing modules and awards  Target: Develop a credit bearing module on entrepreneurial skills and deliver it to a pilot cohort in 17/18 with a view to rolling it out to all programmes by 2020 .

  • Diversity The Employer and the Union recognize the values of diversity in the workplace and will work cooperatively toward achieving a work environment that reflects the interests of a diverse work force.

  • CULTURAL DIVERSITY The Cultural Diversity Requirement generally does not add units to a student's program. Rather, it is intended to be fulfilled by choosing courses from the approved list that also satisfy requirements in other areas of the student’s program; the exception is that Cultural Diversity courses may not satisfy Culture and Language Requirements for B.S. students. For example, Anthropology 120 can fulfill (3) units of the Behavioral Science requirement and (3) units of the Cultural Diversity requirement. This double counting of a class may only be done with the Cultural Diversity requirement. Courses in Cultural Diversity may be taken at the lower-division or upper-division level. U . S .
