Graduate Employability 2.0 workshop: The connectedness learning toolkit - Wednesday 19 October

Wednesday 19 October 2016

Graduate Employability 2.0 is the title of Ruth Bridgstock's 2015-2016 Australian National Senior Teaching Fellowship. The fellowship takes a networked approach to graduate employability in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. The networked approach emphasises the cultivation and promotion of professional partnerships and connections between and among learners, teachers, university programs, industry, and community. The culmination of the first phase of the Fellowship is the Connectedness Learning Model, which provides the basis for the connectedness learning toolkit for educators.

In this workshop, we will explore the use of the connectedness learning toolkit for your own programs and contexts. Using the toolkit resources, we will engage in a reflective self-assessment of your program or institutional area, to identify areas of existing strength and future opportunity for connectedness capability development. This self-assessment forms the basis for a strategic action planning process to foster the connectedness capabilities of your students, enhance pedagogic approaches and cultivate enabling strategies that will develop and strengthen connections between your program and its key partners. The workshop includes some time for sharing ideas across different programs, and finding ways to work together to achieve shared goals.

Academics, employability leaders and members of university leadership who need to foster effective professional partnerships and connections between and among students, staff, programs, institutions and industry. Ruth's Fellowship is focused on humanities, arts and social sciences disciplines, but is of relevance to all disciplines.
