I am currently undertaking a 12-week placement at the University of Southampton where I am working as an Education Development Officer. This role involves the development of a zero-credit Employability module designed with Humanities students in mind as well as contributing to 'The Southampton Opportunity' project which aims to encourage increased opportunities for students across the University.

Hi everyone, Over the past few weeks, we have been extremely busy with our respective projects to the extent that we haven’t had the chance to update our blog. So over the course of the next few days, each member of the Mission Employable team will be giving you a short update on what they’ve been up to. Continue reading →

Hello everyone, As we are now two-thirds of the way through our internship, I thought I would give you an update on my progress! My research on Group Activity is going well, and I have continued to contact universities who demonstrate interesting and innovative ways to make their students aware of their professional and personal development across all aspects of university life.

Hi everyone, I just thought I’d let you know how James and I are progressing with the module. It’s scary to think that we now have less than 5 weeks left of our internship until Verity enters the graduate job market; James and I recommence our studies; and Charlotte gets stuck into her PhD and Research Assistantship post. So, what have we been up to recently? Last week, James and I spent the vast majority of our time working on the module’s Blackboard site. Continue reading →

Hello everyone, As I’m sure you have probably guessed, the past few weeks have been so busy:  meetings with the Employability tutors from the 7 departments within the Faculty of Humanities; thinking about possible module content; working on the Southampton Opportunity project; and a whole range of other exciting initiatives. It’s strange to think that we are nearly half way through our internship and we have already achieved so much in such a short amount of time. Continue reading →

On Friday 11th July , our self-titled ‘Mission Employable’ team ventured outside of our usual office for a project planning day! For those of you who don’t know, Avenue campus is made up of two buildings (65 and 65a); so in actual fact it wasn’t that much of an extravaganza – we just switched buildings! However, during our trip to building 65, we had the opportunity to present all the research we had undertaken so far. Continue reading →

Hello everyone! My name is Amber Dudley. I am a student of French at the University of Southampton and I have recently returned to the UK after having spent 9 months living, studying and working in Bordeaux, France as part of my third year abroad.

I am developing an Employability module. Continue reading →
