Abstract
Enhancing students' employability is increasingly being recognised as a priority for Higher Education Institutions. The aim was to develop an online resource to extend employability provision for taught postgraduate (PGT) students. I-SEE was piloted utilising the virtual learning environment in 41 PGT students within the Division of Applied Health Sciences. Students completed a self-assessment of employability skills. Automated responses provided tailored feedback identifying development areas and signposting to appropriate support. Students were required to record and reflect on their progress using an e-portfolio and identify their own skills and attributes to use within future employment applications. Selfrated skills did not seem to reflect scores achieved in assessments and engagement in reflection was poor. Students seemed divided in their opinions of impact and usefulness according to previous experiences. Practical problems were identified and ways to improve engagement were suggested. It is hoped to extend the resource to other postgraduate programmes.
