Employability, enterprise, entrepreneurship and global citizenship

Whilst inclusive curriculum has become increasingly important in UK higher education, employability is often a neglected aspect of this discussion, added inconsistently through extra-curricular activity rather than integrated into teaching & learning.

 

This project built on existing work on the current inclusive curriculum to integrate employability development into good-quality teaching and learning, enabling higher education providers to support diverse student populations effectively.

 

The Careers Group and the Centre for Online and Distance Education at the University of London partnered with King’s College London and City, University of London in this project to create a toolkit focused on pedagogy, assessments and employability. This valuable resource supports academic educators in developing employability through curriculum – which in turn supports students in gaining the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to successfully transition into their lives and careers after higher education.


Discover the recommendations and resources from this project:

  • The Inclusive Employability Toolkit, packed full of resources and advice
  • Join the in-person event sharing insights and learnings from this project on 15 April
  • Project blogs that outline thinking and progress whilst the project progressed

Outputs

Inclusive Employability Toolkit


Discover numerous outputs from this project within the Inclusive Employability Toolkit, a platform dedicated to sharing good practice and knowledge on developing employability through curriculum.


The Toolkit has three sections: Prepare, Deliver and Evaluate. Each section contains many assets that have been created especially for the Toolkit, based on practice, research and the collective expertise of the project team. It also gives the opportunity to share your feedback on the Toolkit itself, because the project team will be running an evaluation phase during the year after the Toolkit is launched to see how well the tools are working.
