6. Research “PGT Award asks students to reflect on the value of their masters study to their future employment. There are 3 compulsory workshops for students to attend. Assessment is by reflective portfolio and interview”. “UG and PGR awards have different points structures and slightly different learning outcomes. PGTs are only eligible…if they studied their UG [here]” “Eventually there will be content differences based on subject and level, but the pilot is generic…with option choices” “Postgraduate Researchers undertake a parallel award with more emphasis on research skills”
8. Research - employer engagement Some employers will only consider our students if they have taken our skills certificate Consideration of (top level) candidates..for their Global Univ. scheme More likely to take applications forward We have had interview offers after observation of student presentations
10. The AGR: If everyone does a skills certificate will that devalue the benefit to the individual… Too few students can sign up and those that do are probably the motivated ones who need it least… What’s in it for employers? What are the best ways to engage? Validation – how do you ensure quality of the experience for the student? What are the challenges of working with employers? Ideas for inclusion Best practice Share experiences – what has worked and what hasn’t What do employers say?
14. Key Challenges key challenges presented in the research - what are the key issues and what solutions/opportunities can we seek to overcome these
15. Feedback Collaborative practice, beyond Careers… Institutional recognition on the transcript and the HEAR External stakeholder engagement Strategic positioning Next steps…. Impact DEHLE KIS NSS WP

(using research document as handout also, work through key areas)– maybe to include extra information like fte/numbers of students on award/length of time operational (plus references to who does pg awards etc) – easy matrix style to answer the key questions colleagues always have to make comparisons. What do you think?
Comparable internal programmes to make a case for resource?Due to the nature of the different types of programmes it is difficult to determine how well resourced each programme is as each one will have different requirements. However, based on arbitrary student numbers, these are averages FTE – dedicated to operational management, not including the broader support. A number have some kind of support from students such as CV markers etc but unable to quantify. FTE is more important in terms of commitment from university
