"Bailey Record" performance management materials

This resource was co-developed by The University of Plymouth Careers Service with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Bailey Records are effective because they were developed in commercial performance management practice. The student structures their own records using familiar word-processing software, building evidence that matches the selection criteria for their choice of occupations. The records they export from university can be reviewed, edited and developed when they enter graduate life. There are no IT project costs for implementing this system.

Evidence from employment selection simulations suggests that few undergraduates regularly set themselves targets in their sports and social lives, in their part-time term-time, vacation and voluntary work, or in their academic lives. Bailey Records offer tutors formal records with which to revisit a structured performance development agenda during regular evidence-based tutorials, reviewing academic grades and assignment feedback alongside the student’s own records of their performance across their broader experience. In combination with personal tutorials, Bailey Records enable students to develop performance evidence tailored to their choice of rewarding graduate professional life.

Before you recommend it to your students, you might like to spend ten minutes testing the resource yourself.
