Implementing employability and transferable skills around the UG curriculum

 The aim of this session is to showcase how we have implemented employability and transferable skills around the UG curriculum in the form of the Graduate Stream in Psychology Award. In more detail, we will focus on the further development and implementation of the Graduate Stream in Psychology Award since its launch in 2021-22. We used PebblePad to launch the online employability portfolio for students, we started the weekly Guest Speaker Seminar Series for the entire UG cohort, we continued our collaboration with the Brunel Professional Development Centre and Brunel Volunteers to ensure integration of available opportunities, and we developed the employability curriculum for the employability-enhancing extra-curricular activities. This session provides a detailed analysis of the implementation of these initiatives in their first year and how we have taken staff & student feedback onboard to refine its implementation for 2022-23.
