Key Recommendations in brief:
- Employability should be at the centre of HEIs strategic planning.
- Funding research should be used as a lever to encourage HEIs to develop their students' employability skills and attributes.
- Placements and internships should be encouraged in all programmes.
- Careers services in HEIs should be given more responsibility (and resources) to develop employability activities at faculty and departmental level.
- Employer partnerships need to be effective, sustained and equitable.
- Degree course design should articulate the needs of business and emerge from a strong partnership with employer organisations.
- Employer membership of HEI committees should not be a token measure.
