Abstract

We outline an enhanced professional development portfolio (PDP) integrated within our Bioscience tutor scheme and curriculum. Co-designed with students, it aims to provide seamless integration and dialogue between tutees, tutors, module teaching staff, the careers and employability service, and student enrichment. The programme encourages active dialogue that feeds directly into themed tutor meetings, which are extended to a network of tutee peer support teams. PDP outcomes are quantified through evidence-based activities/short assignments designed to encourage not only active engagement in career development but provide employability metrics to inform both students and tutors to where inventions or support may be required.
