Hinweis der Redaktion
JANIE:You can argue that it is not our job to make sure our graduates get a job – its our job to provide them with a university degree: Knowledge of a certain area, expertice to fullfill a certain job.But more and more, we need to differentiate to compete – if the employability of your competitor is higher – the good students will choose them over you.Further more the need for private funding requires a more systematic approach to the future employers and the surrounding society – home and abroadThis means that many of us need to communicate more with this stakeholder group and provide services that we didn’t find nessecary previouslySo I will talk for 10 minutes about what it looks like in Europe and Denmark for the time being and you will have a chance to talk amongst yourselves for 10 minutes about the situation at your university.Then Henriette is going to talk about what It looks like at CBS and how we are trying to handle our challenges and then you will have another chance to talk about what you could do at your insittution.

Access is more than a placement office. Access isKnowing who your employee could beGetting advice on student jobs, cv, what can I do – who am IMeeting companies on campus – at fairs, in class or as an integrated part of my programmeTalking about where I will work (Communication) – how many talk about employability on their website?According to TopUniversities.com who are one of the international companies that survey university quality only 3 scandinavian universities are rated 4 or 5 * when it comes to employability:Lund and Aalborg are 5 and KTH are 4 – but none of them communicate it clearly on their website – WHY NOT?
This group need help because if we have employable graduates we have -.-----If we have employability as a USP we are also more likely to stay under the radar when the societal trend of investigating value creation among universities:In DK: Produktivitetskommisionenundersøger nu yderligereuddannelsesinstitutionerneomkring employability somvaluecreation . Institutions that does not deliver, will be asked to do so.If you work at a university that does not yet focus on this you will soon – if you have USPs within employabliity you should communicate it …
10 full time and 6 student assitants. 1. 475 counselling session in 2013. most students need help to get a clearer picture of what they can offer and what their personal skills are.2. Two fairs yearly – students get to meet companies and companies can inform about internships, open positions and the students can learn about company culture etc.3. The portal is very used and has become the natural place for students to find a job and as a company you can by different kind of exposure 4. A new initiative and so far very populare – in Denmark we have many SMV’er and some of them haven’t hires academics but by this initiative it becomes clear for them how employees with an academic back ground can create vaue – and maybe a job for themselves5. The bachelor programmes does not involve the career centre but are examples of how CBS tries to involve companies in study programmes and that way build bridge between students and companies
