Employability ran from 2004 to 2006, alongside Flexible Delivery. The purpose of the Theme was to raise the profile of employability and its benefits within the university sector, to create a clear understanding of the term ‘employability’, and to assist staff to embed employability in the curriculum.
Employability was organised around three key strands: embedding employability in the curriculum, enhancing students’ employability through the co-curriculum, and engaging employers in the curriculum. These three strands of activity continued to emerge as areas of interest and for development within later Enhancement Themes including Graduates for the 21st Century and Developing and Supporting the Curriculum.
