Employability
conference
January 10th 2012 saw CDEPP
(Centre for the Development and Enhancement of Professional Practice)
but on their yearly conference. This year it focussed on integrating
employability and came from the employability task and finish group
who have been looking at creating an employability award pilot for
2012-2013. The day had a variety of sessions run by senior staff,
faculty members and external companies and was extremely useful. The
best session was obviously the SU session which I presented, having
been part of the employability task and finish group and having been
asked by Terry Wareham to conduct a session. I went through what we
do in the Students’ Union which enhances students’ employability,
showed some interviews with students who aired their views and made
everyone sea sick with my Prezi presentation (lots of rotating and
zooming in and out). We got lots of positive feedback and some great
big ups from different members of staff so after a massive freak out
in the morning when my prezi wouldn’t download and major nerves it
all went extremely well and I finally got the chance to relax. There
is still work to do with regards to implementing the award but we at
the Students’ Union welcome this award as it allows students to
reflect and articulate the skills they gain being involved with the
Students’ Union and local community organisations.
