Abstract
We will share context, design and results of the collaboration between our Careers and Employability (C&E) service and academics from the Bachelor of Nursing at Southern Cross University, in creating blended online content and delivery. This session outlines how we developed a fully embedded, nursing-specific, C&E program rolled out across each year of the degree in an efficient overlay. We describe how we collaborated to blend C&E workshops, online lectures, tutorials and resources into content from the existing course.</p><p>With growth in student numbers across all three campuses it was imperative that the delivery be sustainable whilst remaining effective in developing concepts for successful graduate outcomes. C&E and curriculum content was combined, enabling students to grow in competence and be better prepared for graduate applications.
Hard data has shown that timely embedding of this customised content has had a direct impact on employment results and graduates lifelong employability.
