7.3 Appendix 3: <strong>Employability</strong> self­assessment: Linking London Partner Institutions<br />

(HE provision)<br />

This self‐assessment is designed to help you audit what you are doing, currently, in support <strong>of</strong> student employability, with the<br />

aim <strong>of</strong> helping identify where gaps in provision exist, either across discrete areas or at specific programme level. Obviously, you<br />

will each have your own view on what constitutes graduate employability and the type <strong>of</strong> initiatives that you wish to put in place<br />

to meet the distinct needs <strong>of</strong> your institution and specific courses. However, the following self‐assessment will, hopefully, allow<br />

you to consider the potential range <strong>of</strong> opportunities that developing this aspect <strong>of</strong> the curriculum could constitute and allow you<br />

to give further thought to the opportunities you <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />

It asks you to consider current provision across three main areas:<br />

• Pre‐entry opportunities<br />

• On‐programme opportunities<br />

• Post‐programme opportunities<br />

utilising self‐assessment () across a range <strong>of</strong> parameters, as listed.<br />
