We are pleased to announce a new series of IBMS Support Hub Zoom webinar sessions, with our first scheduled session taking place later this month.
Following on from her article in The Biomedical Scientist magazine on ‘Assessing Employability Skills’, IBMS Council member, Tahmina Hussain, and Sue Jones (IBMS Executive Head of Education) are pleased to announce the return of our IBMS Support Hubs this year.
The Support Hub sessions will take place online via Zoom on Wednesday lunchtimes. For 2023, there will be a new series of topics, specially selected to cover key skills gaps as identified in a recent employability study. You can download a full poster below to see all the session dates and titles.
Set up to investigate employers’ expectations of pathology lab work, Tahmina’s study revealed an overlooked area in need of improvement – the skills and knowledge gap of new graduates. By re-establishing these Support Hub sessions, Tahmina and Sue aim to provide crucial advice to all attendees, with a particular focus on helping new graduates to better meet employers’ requirements.
