• More career-focused than predecessors• Researching careers in first year• Undertaking work experience; including
placements and internships• Higher salary expectations - £41k by 5yrs
(although these are not always met!)• Feel underemployed by some businesses• Commonly looking to work in SMEs
Taking stock• Continue to engage real world
problems and produce practical problems
• Regionalism / Devolution agenda• Historically, universities perceived as
supply-driven producers of workforce talent
• But…
Taking stock• This traditional model is missing the
needs / demands of:– the labour market– the local / regional / national
economies– (the learners themselves)
• So, here’s a new vision:
A new vision(Ref. Andy Westwood)
Universities take on a larger role in balancing supply/demand components of education and the labour market:
Shaping and communicating your portfolio of courses
• Where are your students coming from?
• What are your students’ expectations?
• Where are your graduates going?• How does your curriculum portfolio
map to the needs of these regions?• What is the competition doing?
Employer-focused provision
Employer-focused provision • Addressing real world problem of
perpetual skills gaps• Help HEIs grow regional economies• Entry into labour force and transferability
of skills beyond - including overseas• Impact on productivity immediately
(rather than waiting 3-4 years)• Widening participation and social
mobility• Social capital in classroom + workplace
Employer-focused provisionCommunicating the value of work-based routes to key stakeholders:• Internal colleagues• Employers• Schools / Colleges• Prospective Apprentices• Parents / Carers

of education and the labour market5. Labour market data can both inform
strategic direction and communicate valuable messages to prospective learners
