BCU has a "grow your own"programme to get students into employment. The library is engaged with this and apprencticeship schemes to help further diversify its own workforce. "Not just getting people in, but getting them developed." Sarah Pittaway at #UKSGForum2024

Fascinating set of talks to kick us off at #UKSGForum2024. I loved the "Blockbusters" approach to career mapping from Lucy Marr and Nicki Clarkson @unisouthampton.bsky.social An important reminder that careers move up, down, sideways. Shows of hands proved very few careers are linear!

Loving listening to @jsendall.bsky.social at #uksgforum2024.

Safely arrived almost on time at @uksg.bsky.social Forum. Looking forward to an intense but rewarding day 👍.

Hello Bluesky people 😃. I’m leaving X behind and starting anew in Bluesky. Thank you for having me 👍. I’m interested in HE libraries, AI, digital upskilling and generally trying to get to grips with what 21st century students actually want and need.
