BIS Research Paper No. 40 Supporting Graduate Employability: HEI Practice in Other Countries

Solutions

We don’t just generate ideas, but also solutions.

Our approach and strategic, cross-sector network linking universities, business and government is unlike any other. We bring our members together to leverage the skills and talent fostered by our universities and to strengthen further the UK’s world-class research and development.

CIHE (now NCUB) contributed to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills report published in June 2011, which explores the development of employability skills in the UK and in an international setting.

Building on primary research, the report draws together selected best practice examples from the UK and international higher education institutions. This includes highlighting the UK’s strengths in central support as well as international examples of integrating employability skills directly into the curriculum as part of the “Melbourne model”.
