Achieving Grade 1 for Employability Skills
- The session helped me to see past the current issues and identify our current strengths. We need to work backwards and improve understanding and ‘buy in’ from students to improve placement and skill development success. Excellent session. Very motivational.
- Excellent delivery, which was exceptionally engaging. This has given me insight which I will now share with the rest of the team.
- Thought provoking and inspiring! Reflect, reflect, reflect!
- It’s made me want to reflect what I do on my own course/department, identify areas of improvement and use the top employability skills to devise motivating and engaging employability activities.
- I enjoyed the ‘write your own Ofsted report’ exercise using the grade 1 words – highlighted what I need to achieve.
- Blue sky thinking.
- Need to develop cross-college ‘buy in’. Very interesting ideas.
- Like the interactive sessions.
- Forward with confidence.
- Transferable skills and specific ‘projects’ to be involved with other their placements. The need to also quantify their development whilst on placement.
- Developed my realisation for the need to have measurable outcomes to assess development of skills.
- Guidance is an issue for tutors and leaders of courses. This is the first direction I have had. Thank you.
- Michael Craig-Martin’s ‘An oak tree’. It helped to expand my understanding of the challenges faced whilst also enlightening me towards a new perspective.
- Possibly the best training session since I started here.
- Paradigm shift.
- Creating a new path across the gap between college and employability. It has helped to understand what is ahead regarding Ofsted.
- I’ve walked across the carpet.
- [I need to] Try to make wider connections on how English/literacy can impact upon their employability. Make more use of real life scenarios and links to their subjects.
- [Now] Thinking about being creative. Thinking about what we do after work placement.
- [We need] More development of placements within college and use of student-led projects.
- [I need to] Develop students’ responsibility, encourage them to take more ownership, explain that all experiences are valuable – good or bad.
- Made a ‘difference’. Thought provoking.
- [I need to] Develop/rethink employability skills for 16-18 programme. Use as a motivation/resilience tool.
- Like going on a train with various stops, but all one end destination.
- Particularly looking at how we would want Ofsted to describe our contribution to employability skills.
