From Strategy to Practice: helping students recognise and develop skills for lifelong success at the University of Limerick

Universities everywhere are rethinking ways to better support students for a life post-graduation: how can they more closely align with employability needs, support the development of transferable skills, and prepare students for what comes next?

Universities are re-evaluating their strategies to better prepare students for life after graduation. Specifically, how can they more effectively align with the needs of employers, foster the development of transferable skills, and prepare students for the professional world?

The University of Limerick are tackling this challenge head on with their Recognise, Record, Reward initiative. In this webinar, Chris McInerney, Director of the Transferable Skills Unit, will share how the university is using Portflow to empower students with surfacing the skills for lifelong success.

Instead of broad theory, you’ll gain an inside view of an institution putting strategy into practice. Chris will discuss the Transferable Skills initiative, and how Portflow connects the dots between students’ academic and professional journeys.

Key takeaways during this webinar:

  • An inside look at Limerick’s Transferable Skills strategy: discover how the Recognise, Record, Reward initiative is helping students actively identify, develop, and demonstrate skills that matter for lifelong success.

  • Practical lessons from real implementation: learn how transferable skills are being embedded across modules, co-op placements, and extracurricular activities, and what this looks like in day-to-day practice.

  • Portflow in action: see how students are using Portflow to collect evidence, reflect on their growth, and showcase their skills seamlessly within Brightspace.

  • Tackling cultural challenges: gain insight into the ongoing work of fostering student buy-in beyond task-reward thinking and encouraging staff to integrate skills more visibly into their teaching.

  • Ideas & inspiration: take away inspiration and tangible approaches to strengthen transferable skills, employability, and student ownership at your institution.
