| contents | Developing Employability Skills Workshops for Students' Higher Education Achievement Reports Skoyles, Alison Bullock, Nicola Neville, Kathy Foreign Countries Employment Qualifications Job Skills Academic Achievement College Students Workshops Skill Development Information Literacy Technological Literacy Social Media The Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) is a national initiative to record academic and extra-curricular achievement throughout a student's time at university. The Library and Learning Resources training team's pre-existing employability-focused content included a lecture on social media and digital footprint, and the Microsoft Office Specialist award. In response to London South Bank University's introduction of the HEAR, the training team developed a pilot program of workshops with a focus on employability and social media. The training team created formal assessments, which is a requirement of the HEAR. A literature review revealed a focus on transferable and soft skills. The pilot focused on developing skills that enabled students to create a professional online presence. Linking information literacy and digital literacy training to employability encouraged student participation. A recommendation of this case study is for libraries to consider the development of explicitly linked employability workshops alongside the more traditional bibliographic tools and skills provision. |
