In this session, Becka Colley‑Foster, Head of Careers and Graduate Employability at Edge Hill University, shares how PebblePad is being used to support university‑wide employability and graduate attributes initiatives.
Becka outlines the evolution from an early reflective skills activity to a fully embedded, institution‑wide approach that enables students to evidence, reflect on, and articulate their skills throughout their degree. The session explores how PebblePad underpins consistent implementation of graduate attributes, supports careers conversations, and helps students build meaningful, evidence‑based narratives for employment and lifelong learning.
Key themes include:
- Embedding graduate attributes across the curriculum
- Using PebblePad for institution‑wide reflection and skills development
- Supporting student careers readiness and employability at scale
- Helping students evidence and articulate skills for applications
- Aligning curriculum, careers, and co‑curricular experiences
- Driving cultural and institutional change through reflective practice
This session offers valuable insight for universities looking to implement scalable, coherent employability and graduate outcomes strategies using ePortfolios.
