Who We Are
Mission Employable, who made this event possible, is a Humanities student led initiative that was developed by students, for students, last summer 2014.The initiative aims to make students’ professional development a priority so that we graduate not only with a degree, but also with the ability to go on to career success after university. Mission Employable wants to restructure the Faculty’s employability activity and make it a fundamental aspect of students’ development throughout their degree course.

For the past year, Mission Employable, – which is made up of a team of 4 student interns as well as Dr Eleanor Quince -, have been working together to improve the Employability agenda within the Faculty of Humanities through the development of a zero-credit Employability module, the establishment of a peering mentoring scheme as well as several other exciting new initiatives.
