Edinburgh Napier University’s Graduate Employability Project was established in 2013 to provide an institutional approach to enhancing graduate employability for Scottish domiciled undergraduate students. The Project supported through Scottish Funding Council Regional Coherence Funding is now complete.
The presentation will highlight the approach taken in developing a mixed methods approach to evidence student outcomes on this cross-institutional employability project including:
- Evidencing student outcomes through utilising existing survey data from Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) together with internal student progression data and degree outcomes data;
- Building tools including self-reporting surveys and other qualitative methods to gain a rich understanding of the benefits of engagement in employability opportunities.
This poster presentation will share our experience of developing the evaluation approach share key findings in terms of student outcomes and consider successes and challenges associated with the approach and the lessons learned which will be of wider interest.
