Enhancing Employability Skills through Staff-Student Partnership
This project focuses on augmenting assessment and feedback practices to enhance employability skills for the 21st century. The aim is to embed employability skills into course assessment, investigate effective delivery methods, explore student engagement motivations, and use feedback to enhance skills development. Through guest speakers, external opportunities, and improved communication, the project aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Lessons learned include the ineffectiveness of communication via Moodle and the need for skill-focused feedback. The project is a collaboration between students and staff from the School of Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow, funded by LEADS.
