This NERUPI event explored some of the wider issues affecting student employability and progression as well as providing up-to-date, research based information on the value of a degree in the current labour market. Examples of interesting practice were shared by NERUPI members who are working to support the employability and progression of their students, and delegates worked together to identify key elements of an effective intervention strategy for student progression.

The creation of a more equitable higher education system is the ambition of many in the sector but achieving it can be challenging. Meaningful change requires a cultural transformation which cannot be realised by working in isolation. Collaborations and partnerships can support the change process enabling us to learn from diverse experiences, share expertise and develop new insights. At this event members heard from John Blake, Director for Fair Access and Participation at the Office for Students, learnt about some of the excellent partnership work that is already taking place and explored how research and evaluation could contribute to greater equity and inclusion.
