Welcome to the Department of Leadership and Management Placements and Employability Ruth Brooks Business Management Course Leader

Former placement students as educators, mentors and inspiration for the next generation

Increased numbers of graduates entering a competitive job market. Dearing (1997) and Wilson Report (2012) recommended work experience be part of higher education. Employability

Work experience while studying Part time work Voluntary work Internships Embedded into the curriculum Sandwich placements – up to 48 weeks

High Fliers (2013) Among top 100 graduate recruiters: Third of jobs will be filled by graduates who have already worked for the organisation 4/5ths of these companies offer paid work experience programmes Without work experience graduates are unlikely to be successful during the selection process.

Youngson and Brooks (2013) Taking a placement: 1.Improves academic performance 2.50% more likely to obtain graduate level work 3.Earn £2000 more on average

National uptake declined from 9.5% 2002/3 to 7.2% 2009/10 (Education for Engineering, 2011)

Why? Lack of understanding of the long term benefits Different backgrounds of students Cost/ Fees Lack of mobility Competitive application process – busy studying

HEA Individual Teaching Grant Project aim: To improve awareness of placements and their benefits to increase participation

Using former placement students as educators and mentors Speak from personal experience Similar age and life position Powerful influence in addition to tutor (Allen and Eby, 2010)

Inspire to consider taking a placement Encourage when receive rejections Advice

Start at open day

Ongoing mentoring Classroom sessions Lunchtime briefing for all students registered for a placement contact Interview advice

Impact? The number of students already securing placements is 50% higher than last year The quality of placement is improving

Future Developments Increase the number of students taking placements Wider social and ethnic backgrounds Better career planning by students throughout their studies
