The Scottish Higher Education Employability Forum (SHEEF) is pleased to announce the first in a series of regional workshops for academic staff aimed at showcasing examples of innovative and effective ways of embedding employability in the academic curriculum at subject level.
This one-day event at Glasgow Caledonian University is specifically aimed at practising academics from all subject disciplines who are interested in finding out more about what their colleagues in the sector do to address their students' employability skills within the taught curriculum. The day has been designed to allow participants to both discuss new ideas and share good practise.
Keynote speakers include:
- Professor Ian Hughes, University of Leeds
- Professor Bruce Wood, School of Engineering and Computing, Glasgow Caledonian University.
The day will offer a mixture of keynote presentations during the morning session, and a variety of parallel, interactive workshops in the afternoon. Participants will be invited to sign-up for workshops of their choice prior to the day.
Colleagues from across wide variety of institutions and subjects have already offered to present a workshop but the call for proposals is still open. If you would like to showcase your work, please contact Sabine McKinnon, Lecturer in Employability at Glasgow Caledonian University (e-mail: sabine.mckinnon@gcu.ac.uk ), no later than 25th April.
