Abstract

Combining the authors' interest in developing student employability skills with the increasing need to embed education for sustainability into the curriculum led to the development, delivery, and enhancement of an innovative and unique elective module created at the University of Strathclyde. This model can be utilized by colleagues in the field of higher education in their own setting. Development occurred through existing research into employability concerns, UNESCO's Education Agenda, and the experience of the authors. This chapter describes the development of a multidisciplinary approach to enhancing student employability skills in a sustainable development setting. Elements in the design of the module are discussed; their inclusion is justified based on existing research. The authors also reflect on the enhancement of the module since its inception. This study will be a useful model for lecturers, tutors, career advisers, and other practitioners involved in employability activities.
