Graduate Employability 2.0: The networked approach

Course description

Graduate Employability 2.0 is the title of A/Professor Ruth Bridgstock's 2015-2016 Australian National Senior Teaching Fellowship.  The fellowship supports student, teachers and universities to build and use effective professional connection and partnership for innovation, career development and learning.

In this workshop, participants will explore the use of the connectedness learning educators toolkit for their own programs and contexts.  Using the toolkit resources, you 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 from across different program, and finding ways to work together to achieve shared goals.
