CITL Instructor Series: Raising Student Awareness of Transferrable Skills

Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2-3 p.m.

ED-1001; online

Presenters: Dr. Rhonda Joy, Associate Dean, Faculty of Education; Dr. Jennifer Browne, Director, Student Life, Dr. Jeannette Byrne; Associate Professor, Faculty of Human Kinetics and Recreation; and Dr. Anne-Marie Sullivan, Dean, Faculty of Human Kinetics and Recreation

There are increasing expectations on higher educational institutions to ensure graduates have the skills required to successfully transition to the work place. Graduate preparedness is critical for students, academia and industry. Evidence indicates students sometimes struggle with this transition, not because they lack coveted transferrable skills but rather due to an awareness gap and inability to articulate skills gained throughout their education (Edge et al, 2018).

The presenters will share an innovative approach implemented in winter 2024 to address this issue in two academic units. The sharing of methods, results and a lively discussion will be facilitated.
