The Time, Work, & Pathways to Employability campaign has been set up to bring together key threads of listening from across these three areas to give students the voice and the power to campaign for change in these areas, improving their student experience.
Time is an imposing factor in students’ availability to work and to study, and it is a valuable resources that we have heard that students are short of. In relation to time and timetabling, this campaign seeks:
Predictable and Consistent Timetables
Clearer Communication and Flexibility around Timetables
Work and Employability is increasingly becoming a vital part of life for students at Leeds Beckett University to allow students to pay their rent and bills whilst studying in Leeds, with there being an increasing need to employability skills and opportunities to be embedded into academic practice. Through our listening, the Students’ Union understands that timetable instability relates to students’ availability to work, as do financial barriers around placements, limited placement support, specific challenges for international students, and difficulties around applications and accessibility.
As a result of our listening, this campaign will also seek work around:
- Fair and Accessible Placements
- Timetable Stability and Flexibility
- Tailored Careers Support
For more detailed information relating to each of these areas of the campaign, please see the Campaign Policy Statements for both 'Placements and Pathways to Employability' and 'Time, Work, & Balance'.
