Two months later, news of the global financial crisis hit the headlines. Economic downturn and global recession have remained top of the news agenda ever since. The employment prospects of our graduates are no longer looking so rosy. So what are the implications of a weakened economy for GEES students and academics and how is the sector in general responding? This article briefly examines how GEES-related graduate employment is being impacted by economic shift. It highlights some of the key advice we need to give to our students and it attempts to identify how these current circumstances might be affecting academics.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"36 1","pages":"2 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81916914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The module proved popular particularly for students on Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (GEES), and business-related courses, providing an alternative and complementary angle to their chosen degree routes. Students perceive modules of this nature to be useful to them in their future careers, potentially giving them an advantage in the job market. Curriculum developments in this area can help develop both sustainability-specific and generic employability skills. It is also an area where the GEES community can play a key role linking the wider employability and sustainability agendas in higher education, in addition it contributes to a more sustainable society through developing the sustainability understanding and skills of its graduates.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"136 1","pages":"10 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89755921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Salt, Ginny Saich","doi":"10.11120/PLAN.2009.00220014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11120/PLAN.2009.00220014","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The SEEM mentoring scheme has been established to provide undergraduate students in GEES disciplines with a source of support to help their career planning and ultimately improve their transition into employment. Alumni graduates working in GEES- relevant employment sectors are recruited as mentors. The scheme is based in an academic department and builds on existing links between staff, graduates and students, to provide a strong discipline-specific context and to tie in with careers activities embedded in the curriculum. Central to the promotion and management of SEEM is its web site with application forms, confidentiality agreements and guidelines for mentees and mentors in electronic format. Email is the main form of communication. Career profiles of all mentors are available on the web site in a database designed to help students select a suitable mentor. The first phase of the voluntary scheme was open to all students in their 3rd year. Participation was high amongst Honours students (34%). However, there was no participation from non-Honours students. The failure rate of mentee-mentor relationships was low (1 in 10). The brief given to mentees and mentors was kept deliberately flexible. Topics to be included were: career choices and paths, the functioning of organisations and businesses, a typical working day, applying for jobs, employer expectations, application of graduate skills in the work place and enhancing employability. At the end of the 3-month mentoring period, feedback received from mentees and mentors was overall very positive and constructive and resulted in a number of suggestions for future improvement to the scheme. The long-term viability of employability mentoring schemes is discussed in the context of longer established UK schemes.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"81 1","pages":"14 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84080811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2008, 56 undergraduate geography students were surveyed regarding their prior use of Google Earth to inform the delivery of classes that used Google Earth. Surprisingly, 25% of students had not previously used Google Earth and, amongst those that had, only 23% had used it in academic study, and only 11% had used it in a taught class. Differences between first and final year students were evident, with 40% of first year, but only 18% of final year, students having used Google Earth previously for academic study, possibly reflecting time since the launch, and the differential use of Google Earth in schools, colleges and university. Although the situation is likely to change rapidly, tutors may not assume all students have used Google Earth prior to university, and those that have may not have used it in academic study, and even less likely in a taught class.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"1 1","pages":"43 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83032643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
