Embedding the concept of competency maps to improve the student learning experience and their preparation for work based learning and employability

A poster session from the HEA Annual Conference 2010.

This poster describes an innovative collaborative project between two Centres of Excellence for Teaching and Learning. The Institute for Enterprise based at Leeds Metropolitan University used the process and model devised by the ALPS CETL for their communication ethical practice and teamworking competency maps to devise their own map which illustrated enterprise skills. The process used to develop the map is detailed along with its uses for students and staff. Tips for the project’s process and pedagogy are outlined. The completed work and mapping is evidence of successful interprofessional and cross CETL working.
