  1. Promoting Employability Skills: Making the implicit more explicit E = Q + WE + C + S

  2. Institute of Directors Skills Briefing, Dec. 2007, Graduate Employability Skills’ According to a survey of 500 directors, when recruiting , 64% said graduates’ employability skills were more important to their firm than the specific occupational, technical or academic skills associated to a degree.

  3. The Problem It does not follow that our graduates will develop optimal employability skills through mere contact with their academic discipline. They need help to develop an awareness of their own employability. Reddy, Lantz & Hulme, 2013

  4. PASS – Part of the Solution?

  5. CIHE 2011 Global Graduates into Global Leaders

  6. The Programme One full day of training and two discipline specific workshops Two co-curricular modules Weekly study groups and debrief sessions

  7. Findings Availing of the opportunity to be a PASS leader demonstrates to future employers that I showed initiative by taking an opportunity to further develop personally and also enhance my employability skills. The two skills I believe I have developed the most as a result of being involved in PASS are effective communication and self-confidence which will help me greatly when seeking future employment.

  8. Findings PASS has also helped me develop skills. Although I thought I already had them it made me realise how much more I had to develop on those skills such as working within a team and group activities, learning to include everyone and not try and take on the task entirely myself.

  9. Thank you for listening.
