This seminar, to be held on 28 November in London, will outline key findings from a mixed methods research study undertaken by a consortium of experts on the link between employers, schools and the National Careers Service, led by 桃色视频 Institute for Employment (IER) on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills.

and Dr Deirdre Hughes will present findings from the research that illustrates how employers are working and linking with schools/colleges in a variety of ways that bring significant benefit. They will share the outcomes from a systematic literature review, a survey of over 300 companies, data analysed from 78 schools and 20 colleges, including in-depth interviews and case-studies, 8 Prime Contractors from the National Careers Service and 23 interviews with senior leaders from education, business and the career development profession. The seminar will reflect on key findings and consider future options for the triangulation of education, employer and careers service working links.

The bulletin discusses the findings from a recent study on the transferability of skills and knowledge of UK educated graduates within the European Higher Education Area. The aim of the study was to identify differences between European-mobile graduates (EMG) and those who remained in the UK after graduation; to analyse EMGs’ pathways into employment or further study; and to learn about their experiences using their skills gained in the UK in a different European country. The research showed that EMGs differ from graduates who remained in the UK, especially in terms of their previous mobility experiences, their socioeconomic background, nationality, type of higher education institution attended and subject of studies. EMGs were more likely to enter further study in their new destination, and most of them valued both the traditional academic skills and the employability skills they gained during their education in the UK. The study was sponsored by the Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE). The research was undertaken by Dr Heike Behle and Dr Charikleia Tzanakou.
