Overview
Following on from previous successful symposia, this year’s Employability Symposium will continue to provide attendees with an open and supportive environment to discuss contemporary practices and share successful or unsuccessful initiatives in employability. This symposium offers the chance for colleagues to discover new practices, challenge others to progress, and discuss insights into employability in higher education.
The Employability Symposium 2026 aims to bring together cutting-edge examples of how employability can be embedded at school, faculty/college and/or institutional levels.
