The UCLan Employability Framework Janet Lange Contact: JLange@uclan.ac.uk May 2011
UCLan Employability Framework Audience Staff and Students (and other stakeholders i.e. employers) Rationale To enable individuals and subject teams to provide students with a focused and standardised notion of what we expect in terms of employability and to ensure staff and students can identify where employability is being taught, learnt and assessed

How the Ceth Employability Framework has been used and evaluated 1.For assessment (Managing an ArtHouse Cinema module) 2.On ELSIE programme (ELSIE programme) 3.As marking criteria (Food Writing module) 4.Evaluating the impact of modules (RWE modules) 5. Curriculum Development (EDSS) 6. Researching the curriculum (ESCALATE project) 7. Validation (MA Writing for Children) 8. Research into student understandings of employability (ceth interns) 9. Pedagogic research (ejournal article on Film and British National Identity module) 10. Understanding employability (Val Butcher & various staff from across UK)
The Employability Framework offers parity of terminology. Do different groups understand these terms in different ways? Do different agendas skew how Employability is perceived?
