Creating career support pathways: From freshers week through to academia

My case study focuses on the career development of students and academics in higher education, specifically early-career and teaching-focused staff. We are all navigating the dynamic and extremely competitive landscapes of higher education and job markets, and in this case study I detail my approach to creating 1) pathways supporting student careers, both curriculum-based and extracurricular; 2) collaborative pathways based on co-production and building relationships between staff and students; 3) specialised career support avenues for staff, with a focus on early-career and teaching-oriented staff. These initiatives have gained recognition from my institution and beyond, facilitated by the pedagogic group I established and run, THESIS (Teaching in Higher Education: Supporting and Inspiring Students: https://thesis.psychologyresearch.co.uk/ ).
