This is an open call to the GEES (geography, earth, and environmental sciences) community, for contributions to a new book entitled ‘How to Embed Employability within Geography, Earth, and Environmental Sciences Programmes’.
This handbook provides a practical guide to embedding employability within GEES curricula in Further and Higher Education. It explores the concepts of employability and graduate skills for students and critically considers how these can be developed, delivered, and assessed within a rapidly changing labour market and employment landscape. The book also examines the ways in which instructors can work with employers to create meaningful partnerships.
GEES educators, students and alumni, and professionals especially employers, professional bodies, and industry specialists in GEES subject areas, are invited to contribute ‘vignettes’ to support the substantive text. Final vignettes will be 500-750 words but in the first instance you are invited to submit a brief (100 words) proposal, together with your details via the proposal form.
The deadline for the Vignette Proposal is February 5, 2025 the deadline for the final Vignettes will be July 9, 2025.
For further questions about this opportunity please contact Dr Jacqueline Dohaney.
