Making students more employable

'Employability skills' is a phrase that is becoming more and more commonly used in higher education. How can we ensure that chemistry students graduate with the necessary range of skills to adequately prepare them for a career? How can we guarantee that undergraduates recognise and record these skills?

The RSC's Undergraduate Skills Record (USR) provides a framework for students to document the skills they use throughout their undergraduate study and organise targets and goals for future development.
