Build Employability Before Placement Season
Employability is built across the whole degree, not in the weeks before placements. FlipPraxis helps universities develop career readiness inside the curriculum.
The gap employers describe
Employers consistently ask for graduates who can solve unfamiliar problems, work in teams, communicate clearly and take ownership. These capabilities are hard to build through lectures and exams alone.
When employability is treated as a final-year activity, students reach interviews with a transcript but little evidence of what they can actually do.
How FlipPraxis helps
Capability in the curriculum
Programme outcomes that name the capabilities employers value, built into course design and assessment rubrics.
Real work, every year
Project-based learning and live industry projects that give students repeated practice with real problems.
ProofFolio Evidence students can show
Portfolios, project outputs and mentor feedback that students can discuss confidently with employers.
What students leave with
Every engagement is built on the APEX learning cycle: Acquire, Practice, Evaluate and Expand. Students build knowledge, apply it to real problems, receive feedback and transfer what they learn to new contexts.
- A portfolio of real project work
- Experience of working with industry mentors
- Practised communication, collaboration and problem-solving
- Professional contacts built during study
- Confidence to explain what they can do and how they know
