Gill Frigerio has co-authored the report of a project funded by the Higher Education Academy which piloted the use of ‘Career Adapt-Ability’ in higher education career and employability services.

Career Adapt-Ability, developed by Professor Mark Savickas and colleagues, highlights four psycho-social competencies that individuals can develop to support them in handling transition in today’s labour market. Based on the premise that higher education prepares individuals for lifelong career development as well as initial transition, the project aimed to integrate the concept and its accompanying measurement instrument (The Career Adapt-abilities Inventory) into the career development and employability activities of six HE institutions.

Warwick Business School and the Centre for Lifelong Learning have worked together to create a Postgraduate Award in Career Development. The new award is being offered to students who graduated from The University of Warwick in July 2014 and are not currently in graduate level employment or postgraduate study. A key aim of the award is to widen participation in master's level academic study.

Deadline for applications is 4th January 2015
