Developing our students' employability: a joined-up approach Enhancing the employability of our students is a top priority for us all. There is a wealth of expertise in the University - the Careers and Employability Service, Teaching and Learning Support, and Plymouth Connect located in External Relations - to help you in improving employability both within your curriculum and in your students' co-curricular activities. If you are thinking how to develop employability in your module or programme, but not sure where to start, contact your Faculty CES and TLS representatives (see below) in the first instance to request an initial scoping meeting. We can then decide how best we can support you with an integrated approach, to ensure employability is embedded in the heart of your curriculum and student experience. Our bespoke support for your programme and student population will be data driven and provide research informed practice from a range of disciplines and across the HE sector.
