Evaluate pedagogical practices for embedding employability capabilities into the curriculum Reflect on your own courses in terms of employability capability development. 3
What is employability? A set of achievements skills, understandings and personal attributes that makes graduates more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupation, which benefits themselves, the workforce, the community and the economy (Yorke 2006). 4

Activity 2 Con. Revert to being expert academics and sort your 6 by how easy they are to learn and teach Quite impossible Easy Difficult 10
Feedback on your top two capabilities Why they are important and why they are difficult to learn and teach? 11
A pedagogical framework for developing future-ready capabilities Preparing to build capabilities EXPLORE ENTHUSE EXHIBIT EXTEND Building transferable capabilities 12
Learners get ready to develop capabilities. Learners get ready to develop capabilities. They:: Acquire necessary foundational concepts and learning skills Form cognitive and emotional connections Plan learning and set goals Learners become motivated Learners become motivated. . They see the learning is: Relevant Important Achievable Preparing to build capabilities EXPLORE ENTHUSE EXTEND EXHIBIT Learners develop flexible capabilities Learners develop flexible capabilities They: Practise capabilities through varied applications Reflect on and discuss ideas, learning, challenges and opportunities for transfer Respond to feedback and form judgements Learners demonstrate their capabilities: Learners demonstrate their capabilities: They: Perform real and relevant tasks Use multiple capabilities in conjunction Express who they are Produce personally valuable artefacts Building transferable capabilities
Break 14
Activity 3 - Design Challenges Select your impossible to develop capability Read through your scenario Use the template try for designs that work, don t consume too many resources, are scalable! You have 30 mins 10 to share ideas, 10 to make a plan, 10 to prepare a short presentation 15
Share your solutions Each group gets to argue for their design Each table gets to judge all presentations and award a prize As you listen please mark up the rubric 16
Reflection When I go back to work I will 18
