• 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?

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
