abstract: 'Preparing students for employment involves encouraging ownership of
their employability and engagement in opportunities that can help them
improve it. Industrial placements play an important role in this but
declining numbers of students are undertaking them. Using data collected
over a three-year period at a Business School in a UK university, this
paper will explore an intervention based on nudge theory designed to
increase the uptake of these placements. Drawing upon behavioural
science, it will explore nudge theory and its criticisms. It will
discuss the concept of employability, including the tensions between the
necessity of promoting students'' ownership of theirs and the inherent
assumptions that they will engage in opportunities to achieve this.
Critical assessment of how the nudge intervention worked will be
provided, demonstrating how almost half of those `nudged'' responded
positively, thereby successfully increasing the uptake of placements. It
will identify soft outcomes, notably the breaking down of some typical
behavioural barriers to placements and encouraging students to think
reflectively. It will offer recommendations for replicable practice in
other universities; specifically a model for developing nudges not only
in relation to employability but within higher education more broadly.
It concludes by proposing a new pedagogic definition of employability.'
