Notes for video
Main themes covered in the message about the ‘Letter to the 15,000’ blog
- You (university lecturers) are in support of their vocational skills and are there to answer their queries
- Studying and working require different skills
- If students focus just on their studies their employability will be low
- Development of vocational skills are best undertaken through relevant work experience
- Relevant work experience can be achieved in part through placements, but self-generated experience is most valued by employers, because it shows intent, tenacity, resilience, high discretionary effort and persistence.
- Direct students to the webinar so that they can get further insight
- Direct students to sign up to the FREE ‘Letter to the 15,000’ course, (part of the Performance Careers course)
