Research Seminar - Employability

Location

Moore Building 008 (MBS008)

Date(s)

03/02/2016 (13:00-15:00)

Title: `The Concept of Employability'

Theme Group: Working Life

Speaker: Dr Alan Bradshaw, School of Management.

Dr Alan Bradshaw will give a short presentation designed to introduce some of the critical issues from the literature, after which the topic will be opened up for discussion. The intention is to encourage critical reflexivity on our own practices and generate discussion, rather than to receive new research findings as such. As this is a topic that affects us all in terms of the increasing requirements to develop the capacity of our students to function effectively in the job market, we hope this will be a seminar that many of you will be interested in participating in. 

To remind you, the intention is for the Working Life theme to explore issues of interest and relevance across the School of Management, bringing together our own staff and PhD students as well as external experts. The broad remit of the theme is stated here:

For catering purposes, please contact Professor Chris Rees to confirm your attendance; or if you have any queries, comments or suggestions.

All welcome. Lunch is available at 13:00.
