Mechanisms for sustainable employer engagement

Lead Institution: Plymouth University

This is a sub-project of Progressing from labour market intelligence to HE level provision that is well supported by employers

Project Outputs

As part of this National HE STEM project, guides have been produced that deal with specific needs [both current and historic] identified by two organisations, one a university, the other a further education college, as part of their work to facilitate employer engagement. Contributions have also been made by colleagues involved from partner SW HE STEM projects. However, all guides are designed to be customisable for use by any educational body and could be adapted for use within a wide range of employer engagement contexts.

The key target audience are staff undertaking Employer Engagement work on behalf of Higher Education Institutions [HEIs]/Further Education Colleges [FECs], in particular, those who are new to this area of work.
