Today I’m addressing the Institute of Student Employers Midlands group. I’m going to be talking about the policy context for student transitions and recruitment and then moving on to give some data about both the supply and demand sides of the student labour market. In particular I’m interested in thinking about how we can build better local labour market infrastructures that are capable of increasing retention and avoiding the drift of talent to London and the South East. Finally I’m going to finish off by talking a bit about the Local graduates project as I think that this gives some good insights about ways forward.
This is what I’m planning to say.
