Summary
This strategic project unites students, employers, academics and professional services to co-design authentic assessments. It aligns with the work of the CreaTech Frontiers project, which the Project Lead is a board member, in that it embraces a more creative approach to assessment, leading to a richer set of transferable skills for future ambitions. By embedding real-world challenges into inclusive, integrity-driven assessments, it creates a scalable model for employer-university collaboration, enhancing student experience and aligning with global best practices.
