Welcome


Welcome to the Scottish Higher Education Employability Network's (SHEEN) site for employability resources on the web. The information on this site is primarily aimed at individuals who are interested in or have a responsibility to address employability in the curriculum and co-curriculum.

The site was built using the free Web tool Netvibes, which pulls in and displays live feeds of news, resources and searches from other places. If you are not familiar with Netvibes, feel free to have a play: you won't break anything! Or, scroll down this page to find some video clips showing you how to navigate and use the site. You will also see some clips on using Diigo to contribute resources to this site.

The site pulls in a range of content relating to employability in higher education, including dynamically updated information from social media sites, e.g.:
  * popular pages bookmarked by many different people on Delicious and Diigo;
  * freely available videos from YouTube;
  * the latest links and opinion from Twitter;
  * ... and all sorts of up-to-date publications via blogs, repositories and more formal Web sites.

Information has been organised under relevant tab headings. In each tab you will discover:
  * a range of continuously updated materials from across the web, and
  * resources recommended by the Scottish Employability Coordinators' Network.

If you would like to get in touch about any of the information here or to find out more please email netvibesecn@googlemail.com
