The Centre for Education and Youth are delighted to publish ‘What works to reduce equality gaps in employment and employability‘ in partnership with the Education Policy Institute and TASO.
Our research, running from December 2021 to March 2022, set out with three aims:
- Understand the labour market outcomes for graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g. students who are BAME, female, disabled, mature or care leavers) and how they compare to graduates from non-disadvantaged backgrounds
- Collect evidence from the literature on what programmes work to improve labour market outcomes for graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g. work experience, mentoring, interview practice)
- Develop an overview of how Higher Education Providers deliver employment-improving programmes, including the challenges they experience and how they evaluate programmes
