Vitae focus group - European Framework for Work Experience

Vitae are looking for enthusiastic researchers to be part of an exciting focus group to gauge your opinions and thoughts on implementing a new European Framework for Work Experience and accompanying resources for researchers.

The framework was developed a number of years ago in partnership with a number of European institutions and organisations to agree on the 12 most important competencies that employers look for in undergraduates.
Whilst originally designed for the undergraduate community, Vitae feel that there is applicability to the researcher community and would like to investigate how this framework could be used to enhance the employability of researchers in the near future.

We are looking for postgraduate researchers or research staff across any discipline with 3 hours of spare time on Wednesday 17 August between 11am-2pm and an additional hour in advance to read through pre-focus group materials. Lunch will be provided and any travel expenses incurred will be covered.
