How does LSBU currently address PDP? • Personal development publications: • What now? (level 0) • Don’t panic (level 1) • Yourself (level 2) • About your future (level 3) • It’s all yours (level M) • These can be viewed as pdfs on the intranet at www.lsbu.ac.uk/caxton/pdp/index.html
How does LSBU currently address PDP? • Learning and Development Centre: • Learning for work • Career Management Skills • Learning and Teaching Enhancement Unit (LTEU) • Learning Information Services (LIS) • Careers and Student Employment Unit (CaSEU) • Widening Participation Unit (Mentor/Ambassador roles) • Courses may already address many aspects of PDP
Strategy for developing PDP • Since many LSBU awards are vocationally focussed the curricula often already address employability directly or indirectly. • Map existing syllabus activities • Address gaps • Embed across the curricula
