UK needs 'employable' graduates
RSC responds to the Government's consultation on a strategy to increase the number of 'employable' graduates in the UK and raise the skills of workers
What incentives do universities need to make them more responsive to business and employer demand, and give all their students access to work placements? How can employers become more involved in providing careers information and guidance for students throughout their education? How does the UK increase the numbers of people with specialist qualifications that many businesses require such as in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects, and languages?
These were some of the questions put by the Government earlier this year to higher and further education providers, employers and professional bodies, including the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), as part of its strategy to increase the number of 'employable' graduates in the UK and raise the skills of people already in the workplace.
