A meeting (2.5 hours) to update employers on ways to engage with students and collaborate with staff in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. Speakers include
- Dr. Suzanne Embury, Director of Business Engagement, Reader
- Dr. Sean Bechhofer, Discipline Head of Education, Reader
- Dr. Duncan Hull, Director of Business Engagement, Lecturer
Alongside updating you, this year, we'd like feedback from you on micro-credentials, mini-qualifications that allow learners to provide evidence of their broader skills beyond those demonstrated by traditional academic awards. We'll be running a group based activity to consult participants about a pilot scheme in digital badges.
If you are an employer looking to recruit Computer Science students for summer internships, year long placements and graduate roles then this meeting is for you.
