4. Employability Statement Newcastle University is committed to enhancing the employability of its students and graduates through the development and support of career management, work-related learning, enterprise and entrepreneurship in a global context. Where: • Employability is a set of knowledge, skills and personal attributes that make individuals more likely to gain and be successful in their chosen occupations. • Enterprise refers to the aspects of employability that promote an innovative, creative, resourceful and opportunistic approach to life learning and work. and • Entrepreneurship is the application of enterprise leading to the creation of a new venture and the generation of new business and value. The institution aims to achieve this by the implementation of the Newcastle University Graduate Skills Framework and the Joint Skills Statement of the Research Councils UK, delivering the primary outcome of graduates who can independently self-manage, proactively interact and ethically apply their knowledge and skills in a global context. This will be facilitated by the Learning & Teaching Strategy 2007-2012, particularly sections A3, A4, B4 and B6.

5. Enterprise and Employability • Employers are looking for evidence of entrepreneurial skills and attitudes. A key challenge facing the UK is the need to develop and encourage new enterprises through business start-ups and staff spin-off companies. • Ken Howitt, BAM Nuttall – “These skills are needed, this module is industry focused. At the end of the day industry is a business that makes money and there is a need to plan for the future. Students can use these skills to be competitive in bidding for industry”.

10. Where is Enterprise in the curriculum? Most of what you hear about entrepreneurship is all wrong. It’s not magic; it’s not mysterious; and it has nothing to do with genes. It’s a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned.” Peter F. Drucker
