Caveats
• home, first degree, full-time students only
• measure of employment and further study
• the coding and methodology has changed (2011/12)
• the employment/further study measure is more comparable

What employers have said…
We have not attended previously as we have not recruited a successful number from the uni, after today, I am sure we will receive great applications
Keep up good work, no prep no entry policy is great and works. Really keen students with very specific questions. May recommend to other universities to start running similar process
We’ve been to a few Universities now and it’s great that students coming to speak to us actually know who we are. It saves us a lot of time, and it feels like the time we spend here is a lot more valuable
Students were great and so well prepared. This means we feel our time here is a lot more effective.

Risks• Thinking the problem is fixed
• Engaging enough students early
• Thinking we can do everything for our students
• Keeping up the pace
• Engagement translating into positive outcomes
Preparation of students
• A better coordinated offer
• A more inclusive offer
• A better tailored offer
• A clearly communicated offer
Provision to employers
• A more responsive service
• A more bespoke service
• A greater focus on conversion
Where next? – Phase 2 strategy

So, we need to…• Use the data to target effort
• Support early student engagement
• Keep up momentum
