The Devolution Revolution• November 2015: ‘devolution
revolution’ heralded at Spending Review
• Kevin Richardson (HEFCE) providing running commentary on developments (e.g. Six Regional Investment Opportunities for HE - European Investment Bank, UKTI, Combined Authority Investment Funds, Devolved Business Rates…)

• To align with needs of regional economy, universities first need to understand what those needs are
• Good Labour Market Intelligence can uncover those needs by tapping into industry and occupation trends:
Good data is key: • Which industries are set
to grow the most over the next few years?
• Which graduate occupations do these industries employ?
• How do our courses compare to the needs of our regional economy?

Degree Apprenticeships
“Understand what the demand for a degree apprenticeship looks like through use of national and local information on priority sectors, skills shortages and labour market trends. Engage with strategically important employers and work closely with local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) and other stakeholders (such as local authorities).”

Graduatemigration*(2012-13)
• Loyals – Graduates who goto university in the regionwhere they live, and who areworking in that same regionsix months after completingtheir degree
• Returners – Those who studyoutside their home region, andthen return to that region towork after graduating
• Stayers – Those who study outside their home region and then stay in that region to work
• Incomers – Those who work in a region in which they neither studied nor were domiciled * Reference: Ball, C. 2015. Loyals
, Stayers, Returners and Incomers: Graduate migration patterns. HECSU.
The graduate class of 2015*

1. 4.+3.3% graduates hired by The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers in 2015, compared to 2014: smaller than expected.
Graduates turning down or reneging job offers (1,000 positions left unfilled in 2015)
32% of 2016 roles expected to be filled by those with work experience of the organisations (e.g. internships, placements etc.)
3.Top employers intend to expand graduate recruitment by 7.5% in 2016 (fourth consecutive year)

Will Graduates settle for one
career?• Generation Y Graduates* (born
1980-95) expect swift career advancement and support for these progressions
• Implications are that future generations will look to move around in the workforce
• Implications for ongoing, lifelong learning: From universities, perhaps?

Social mobility“This report is a wake-up call for educators and employers as well as policy-makers, both local and national. If social mobility is to take off, much more will need to be done if there is to be a level playing field of opportunity in our country. The gulf between the ambition of a one nation Britain and today’s reality of a divided Britain is far too wide.”
| Alan Milburn, Chairman,Social Mobility and Child Poverty, January 2016
