The Challenge of Strategic Engagement With Employers.

Employer engagement is an area of increasing strategic importance to universities, particularly in relation to the skills required of the future workforce. But how can you know which employers to target? Our aim is to give you the insight that will help you identify the employers that you should be prioritising in your engagement.

How Can Our Data Solve Your Challenges?

Our data can be brought to bear to solve a number of challenges your university may be trying to solve across multiple teams involved in employer engagement.

Degree Apprenticeships

Our insight can help your university maximise its existing degree apprenticeship offer by identifying those employers who are most likely to need what you are offering, as well as enabling you to assess employer demand for new programmes.

CPD/Short Courses

Through our detailed data on industries, occupations and skills, your institution can identify those parts of the country with growth and skills characteristics which align with your existing programmes, therefore enabling a targeted approach to expansion into specific geographies.

Work Placements

Through our data, your employer engagement team can identify regional industries which employ occupations related to your courses. This means that instead of adopting a "phone list" approach to prospecting, they can create a far more targeted list of potential employers for placements.
