Employability in Archaeology
The term employability has, in recent years, become more dynamic and diverse. It still covers concepts of preparing students for work, of improving career chances through enabling students to become more employable, embedding self-reflection into the curriculum to enable students to evaluate the skills and attributes they have, and significantly, to communicate these effectively. It has also come to encompass Employer Engagement, especially relevant in today's world of increasing work-based learning, as well as Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, encouraging students to become more innovative and creative both within their own discipline areas and the wider world of work.
The report is based upon interviews with graduates from a range of humanities subjects who are currently running their own businesses. This report is not intended to be a guide to teaching business skills to humanities students, but aims to demonstrate to lecturers, tutors, careers advisors and others that humanities degree students acquire a huge range of skills and attributes which will equip them to run successful businesses when they graduate. It will also be of interest to students themselves as they consider their options after university.
