Preparation for graduate employment requires the student to reflect upon their development of numerous academic and personal skills sought by employers. However formal assessment of reflection is notoriously difficult and students frequently neglect this aspect of education only noting (or valuing) acquisition of academic knowledge. We are currently developing the tutoring programme in BSc Medical Sciences to incorporate more formal evaluation discussion and recording of transferable skills alongside more effective signposting to skill-development resources to promote success for all students. This session will involve an interactive demonstration of our approach to aligning student tutoring to tangible evidence of employability skills.
