The best employability advice for students starting uni, “focus on the opportunities over a specific goal – internships, research, modularity in your degree, and so on.” I’d add get a part time job on campus,this will help you meet other students and feel like you belong.

“Peers matter at all ages, of course, but there’s something about peers in adolescence that takes on increased importance and plays a role in decision making and risk taking, and all sorts of other things that adolescents do.”

Schools are ‘missing a trick’ by not using more peer-led programmes because of ‘what we know about adolescents’ propensity to influence each other to make good decisions’, says neuroscientist @sjblakemore tes.com/magazine/teaching-le…

Brilliant, important thread from @jim_dickinson well worth making the time to read.
In September 1995 I was dropped off by my dad into my student house at the University of the West of England at 2.15pm on a Sunday afternoon.

Love the sentiment of this session, advocating for giving more responsibility to early talent. There are multiple benefits of removing the hierarchy between leaders and junior colleagues; from different perspectives, to harnessing enthusiasm and fresh energy.

As Graduate Outcomes Steering Groups spring into action up and down the country following the latest set of GO results, @MikeGradconsult takes a closer look at what this metric is really telling us.
Great new article by @MikeGradconsult 🙌 ''The success of a careers service is influenced by tangled web of external and internal factors beyond their control, it can't defined by any single metric. Not ever, but particularly not now.'' linkedin.com/pulse/careers-s…

Love this, lots of really useful insight and advice here for those considering student engagement. Including my personal number one, employ students within your team and give them real responsibility.@MackMarshall15 cites this as “the least you could do”, I wholeheartedly agree.

Love this. “Curiosity cannot be done in a rush, it needs time and space. It need formal and informal spaces, routine and opportunistic, spaces that are safe and built on trust. Spaces of genuine connection.” 👌

“The practice of tracking learning engagement to support retention, wellbeing, and success is nowhere near reaching its potential to deepen our understanding of what learning processes look like in real time. This needs to change.”
