Welcome to the Employability for Business module.
Welcome to the Employability for Business module.
We all have our differing reasons as to why on our journey through life we are now currently at University. Teesside University offers you every opportunity to be part of a vibrant University as you gain your degree and begin to focus on your next steps.
However, by the time you leave you will want to have established a move into the next stage of your life and career path–as you will appreciate these are important decisions that should not be taken lightly.
Your perception on life we hope has been helped by your time studying at Teesside, and that what you have learned will stand you in good stead through the days ahead and particularly in deciding your career step.
As you will appreciate competition for good career opportunities (either a new job or seeking advancement within your current organisation) is extremely fierce and so to help you in your next steps we have developed this module `Employability for Business’.
We believe by choosing to study here at Teesside, you are expressing a clear desire to ‘get ahead in life’, and this module is designed to facilitate that desire. The sole aim of the module is to facilitate yougetting your career started or in developing opportunities within your current organisation, whilst helping you to give yourself the best chance of success. We believe to do this means helping you to effectively bring together your unique experiences of education and life to focus on enhancing your employability – the outcome is an interaction of all three parts:#p#分頁標題#e#
The module has been designed with input from many sources such as the your fellow students who have progressed ahead of you; University Careers service; Lecturers and University staff with interests in this subject or with specific responsibilities for interfacing with students like yourself to ensure we focus on your needs. Also, of particular importance we have been listening to the needs of the live jobs market with employers telling us to provide them with ‘work ready’ graduates and what thismeans.
The content of the Module will help you to understand the links from your first year studies, particularly Personal and Team Effectiveness (PTE), into this Module and the rest of your second year studies through into your final year and beyond.
As your understanding of your employability and what employing organisations are looking for increases, this will help you in developing a firm foundation in your approach to your Business Research & Project (BRP) final year project. This Module will help you recognise the BRP project should not simply be viewed as `a project for your course’ but also as an excellent opportunity for you to put into practice an action to enhance your employability for business by producing a high quality major piece of work that shows what you can achieve when a project is driven by you. This evidence of individual skill and achievement in your project will powerfullyhelp to enhance your employability – so seize the moment.
We welcome you to this module and wish you success.

You will be encouraged to draw from your own and others work based experience to contribute to the learning environment.
Through discussion and individually motivated work, you will interpret and apply the theoretical concepts that underpin the learning into a real world context.
Assessmentstrategy and Assignment details
The module has an emphasis on preparing and enhancing your employability via the analysis and understanding of your skills, educational and transferable work based experiences, with an insight into the expectations of employers for students to be `work ready’ graduates. #p#分頁標題#e#
Assessment will be formative in nature throughout the year. You will produce a portfolio of evidence for summative assessment based on group work and personal reflection of your development journey, in support of your future career path.
The portfolio is to be completed over the duration of the module and you will appraise, based on personal reflection, your own employability level at entry point and then at completion.
Formative:
You will be assigned by tutors to a group (maximum number of 5 students)
drawn from your larger seminar group.
The Group work requires the group to pick 5 of the 9 key topics (1. Introduction to Employability; 2. Personal Branding and networks; 3. Theoretical basis of module; 4. Placements; 5. Problems/barriers in career development/ethics and Context of 21st century careers; 6. Management / Teamwork simulations; 7. Concept of ethics; 8. Recruitment cycle and 9. How to sell to yourself) and provide a critique of the relevance of the chosen topics to enhancing a student’s employability; and provide a written commentary on what employers currently want/do not want from a new graduate (1,200 words).
Formative feedback will be provided on early drafts of the work by a tutor who has been assigned your group and others, and this tutor will be the academic contact on the group work. The tutor will provide support and guidance. Your group will have a formal meeting (this is not an option) with your tutor two months after the module commences (week 10).
The group will show the tutor a draft of their critique – covering at least 2 topics, and an outline of their commentary. The tutor will then provide formative feedback. Further formative feedback (this again is not an option) on the critique and commentary will be given two months (week 20) after the first formative feedback. This formative feedback will allow you and the others members of your group to judge your progress, and take appropriate action.
Summative:
(a) The output from group work (30% of final mark) though part of your portfolio is submitted separately prior to the final parts of the portfolio(see below) being submitted.
(b) You will in addition as an individual provide an overall individual reflective statement (2,800 words, 70% of the final mark). This will include a critical reflection by you on your group work experience and on how since commencing the module you enhanced youremployability and how this will be demonstrated to an employer. You will also produce a SMART Action Plan –where you as an individual identifyyour actions for sustainable development to enhance your employability. #p#分頁標題#e#
(c) All of the concepts and theory and professional practice/guidance introduced within the topics of the module must where appropriate be put into practice and woven through the evidence contained within the portfolio
The full individual portfolio will therefore be a total of 4000 words. The pass mark is 40%.
Attendance:
All students are required to attend all formal teaching sessions, to engage with their studies, and to inform a designated member of staff if they are unable to attend classes. If you persistently fail to attend or to engage with your studies the University reserves the right to withdraw you and report your withdrawal to external authorities (e.g. SLC, UK Home Office) as necessary.
International students should be aware that it is a condition of your visa that you attend all your classes and maintain contact with the University. You will therefore be required to sign in regularly throughout your studies, to ensure compliance with UK regulations. We will supply you with more information when you arrive.
Assignment Assessment Criteria
All assignments will be marked according to the Teesside University’s standard undergraduate marking system.
Assignment-specific assessment criteria will be agreed annually in line with standard TBS moderation processes, with specific reference to the:
Depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding;
Development of related professional skills;
Capacity for analysis;
Consideration of ethical use.
Referencing and bibliography should be in standard Harvard style, and your attention is drawn to the university’s regulations on plagiarism.
Feedback to students will be by the following form:

Gill Owens
Gill left school aged 16, in the middle of a recession, with dreams of owning a Mercedes and a shoe collection to rival Imelda Marcos. Fast forward 23 years and after a lot of hard graft she decided to semi-retire from the business world so she could return to study and oversee the home extension that would house the shoe collection.
Those 23 years provided Gill with a vast amount of experience in the private sector and a sound understanding of all aspects of business across a variety of sectors (including business support, property development and accountancy). Her biggest skill lies in involving employees inall aspects of strategic growth ensuring their commitment through change.
Gill’s return to study was the beginning of a new life in academia. After gaining a first class Honours in Psychology, she decided to register for a PhD and combine her love of understanding people with her business skills and experience. Her desire to pass on this knowledge to business students naturally led to securing a lecturing post at Teesside University Business School.
Whilst Gill’s varied experience of all elements of business means she is flexible in what she can teach, her main interests lie in strategic development, understanding behaviour in the workplace and holistic employee development. Her mantra to colleagues continues to be, ‘you can mess about with the numbers all you like but you have to look after your staff.’
Gill remains committed to ensuring that students receive the most up-to-date information and so, in addition to retaining a small interestin two local businesses, she continues to be research-active whilst developing new delivery material. Reluctantly, this means that the prized shoe collection now shares space with a vast array of reading material; however this is definitely not met with the same admiring gasps from female friends.#p#分頁標題#e#
Areas of research interest include:
• Interpersonal relationships and their impact on business
• Strategic relationships
• International management

Alex Finlayson
My early career was in the road haulage and public transport industries, where I set up and managed a small transport business for five years. The adverse economic climate of the early 1980s resulted in closing down the business and I decided to gain some business education. I gained a BSc (hons) degree in Mathematical Sciences from Teesside and this led to a career in Operational Research with Corus (formally British Steel). The work involved supervising a team engaged in a range of research projects including project management, development of PC applications and models including databases, spread sheets, simulation and analytical models, and report preparation and presentation to plant and senior management up to director level. My team regularly returned a benefit to cost ratio in excess of 10:1. During this period I carried out research in conjunction with the Applied Mathematics department at Leeds University. This work was part of my on-going interest in chaos theory and involved computer modelling of systems of partial differential equations. The work resulted in the publication of three mathematical papers dealing with spatio-temporal structures in reaction-diffusion systems.
From 1990 to 1992, whilst at Corus, I also worked as a part-time Statistics Lecturer with the School of Mathematics at the Teesside University. After leaving Corus in 2001 I undertook a variety of Operational Research consultancy roles before becoming a lecturer at Teesside University Business School in 2006. My main areas of teaching include operations management, project management and business management research. I am a firm believer in the value and necessity of quantitative methods in business and I try to incorporate these methods into my teaching wherever possible.
I have been a member of the Operational Research Society (ORS) since 1986. For a number of years I was a committee member on the North East Operational Research Group (NEORG).
