What's in it for me? Aligning student employability with futures research

A presentation from the Higher Education Academy Annual Conference 22-23 June 2010.

We describe the integration of the (NTFSfunded) Creating Learning Futures (CALF) with a university-wide programme for student employability at the University of Leicester (Leicester Award). We provide examples of practical and cost-effective ways based on learners' engagement in futures research as well as ways of accrediting students' employability.
