Sharing Practice: an embedded employability approach

Leslie Kwok: BA Stage 3 Leader, Graphic Communication Design, CSM
Ruth Annett: Employability Practioner, Careers and Employability, Teaching, Learning and Employability Exchange

A reflection on a two-year collaborative partnership focused on embedding employability in the curriculum for Stage 3 BA (Hons) Graphic Communication Design (GCD) students at CSM. We will share how our approach has grown into a year-wide programme, gained support from the UAL Teaching and Learning fund and spread to the wider course community. After mapping the year-wide programme in termly phases, we will share how the programme culminates in a celebratory moment of knowledge exchange, Sharing your practice with industries. This session may be of particular interest for anyone searching for perfectly imperfect examples of embedded co-curricular employability.
